Okay, that's good to know. One other question though is that since I broke a couple bolts off in the knuckle and I have to remove it - based on every video I've watched it looks like I'm probably going to destroy the ball joint in the process - right? So I assume I'm going to have to replace that one (right rear). Should I replace the left rear as well so that both are new at the same time?
Should I follow the same idea with struts, tie rods, etc? The rubber on the struts is completed gone but I have no idea what the actual condition is. I've just been assuming everything is mostly bad with how old it is.

Okay - that was honestly kind of what I was thinking. Looking at the control arms I wasn't thinking all that much could go wrong short of impact damage or rust.
