It may appear to be stuck though is just really on there!

I doubt it is welded!

Balljoints are a Pain In The ***!!

I don't mean that it is so stuck that it seems to be welded, but there are weld splatters on top of the ball joint.. might there be a reason why someone might do this??

Thanks

Weld splatters? Are you sure thats not just under body rust protection goo or something? I've seen a lot of ball joints and I've never seen one welded in.
