I was doing a brake job on my sisters focus when I noticed both lower ball joints were completely busted open. Ford said the ball joints are only serviced with the control arms. So I picked up a set and the install seems pretty easy, they only thing that is puzzling me is the ball joints arent threaded? I didnt really pay attention to it at the time, so I dont know how they are suppose to connect to the spindle-- any ideas? Just trying to collect all the info I need before I start the tear down in a couple days!!

There is a hole on the knuckle that you slide a Torx bolt through and then tighten the nut onto it.
