Which way do the upper ball joints thread? Left or just normal screw in right?

I spent a couple hours and used enough PB blaster to kill a horse. Been working on the front end since 10 this morning. I've decided the only way to get this done is to take the socket and control arm with me and have a shop get the damn thing out. Might as well do the control arm bushings at the same time too.

I have used a 3/4 inch breaker bar with a 8ft pipe to break it loose. and the last car I did, I used my IR 2131 1/2 impact set on KILL and they came out...no fun.. the bushings are no fun either...

If you do go to a shop make sure they know they SCREW OUT , if they press them out your arm is JUNK .
