Clean up the threads, use a new nut (if the threads are fucked) and dont forget to use a new cotter pin. I get cars all the time that kids mushroom the ---- out of balljoints.

I stripped a castlenut once and couldnt get it tight enough to put the safety pin through. the result my car losing control, veering across 2 lanes of traffic and me hitting a 19 y/o kid off his motorized scooter. the scooter was toast, but he was ok because he flew over the sidewalk and landed in grass. my control arm had hit the pavement, carving a nice groove, and the drivers side tire was tucked nicely into the wheel well. dont half ass your suspension, it will save your life and money.
