Why control arms, are the ball joints bad. When you replace the strut you may want to look at using a Monroe quick strut. It comes full assembled with new springs and and all. RockAuto has them for about $120 each.

yes I believe the ball joints are bad I had a mechanic look at it and he said there was play in the wheel both up and down and side to side

as far as the quick struts go I have the blocks that go above the strut....ill take that out and the quick strut should give me the same ride height?

thanks for any help

Take a look at your sway bar bushings as well.
