[redline racer510]

Don't crown the threads next time. The ball joint is damaged, you can try rethreading it but will more than likely have to replace it.

Just replace it.

To help you out, ixfxi stated B12 ball joints work on our LCA's(as well as B13, but they're 1mm larger iirc).

Ebay has them at around $20/shipped for a pair.

Two new ball joints. Be worry free for a long time.
