Bumpstop touching top arm = very bouncy! I think the original cones will need replacing soon...

I've got a set of hi-los and ball joints to go in the front when I'm game enough to get it apart. I'm hoping the ball joint hasn't worn through and damaged the top arm.

Even if it has its not serious.. a bit of filler under the new bucket will make it like new..

The left front arm was fine but the right one was worn through the cup and into the arm. Will it be OK with a bit of filler in the bottom as mentioned above? Or does this look too worn? There is still 8-9mm of metal between the bottom of the recess and the bottom of the arm measured through the drain hole in the middle
