I recently fixed a pair of uppers from BYC, they were off an S-10. The ball joint plate was butt welded inbetween the two tubes which isn't very strong. It cracked the ball joint plate through the bolt holes because it was flexing so much. Luckily nobody was hurt because the customer was driving his truck when the arm broke. I put them on a jig and built new ball joint plates and sleeved them into the tubes a few inches for strengh. He hasn't had a problem with them since.
