It's not beat up or anything, I kust don't think you can grind off the weld, knock out the balljoint and put another one in. I guess they are probably fairly cheap at the pick your part. Got the rest of them all shined up and ready for primer.

There is probably a reason it was welded in so I'd get a new arm. It would not be fun to take the time to cut it out only to find the new ball joint fits loose in the hole. Control arms are cheap and plentiful.
