take off the knuckle and have napa work shop in your area use a 10 ton press to install the new ball joint. Pretty sure might need an alightenment . Do not drive it hard or you might cause more suspension damage if your tire collapses , broken axle maybe

Thats why you spent 10k more than a SI.
But since you made it obvious with your mods you will have to suck it up and spend the money to get your car fixed right. If you do it my way you can save about 650
