Ford now makes a ball joint for the Contour. About $30 from Bill Jenkins. Just drill out the 3 rivets and bolt up to the control arm. Even comes with a zirc fitting so it can be greased where the ones that come on the control arms are not. That Ford dealer sucks arse! Take them the number (F5RZ-3V078-B) and shove it up there lying arse.
