Cars pre ran. And dontfeel like putting after market ball joints in. Whats everyones opinion on just using hardened bolts to replace the ball joints. Suspension and a arms welded solid

I have broken two of them in the same spot, ironically on the same car. I changed up the style of tire I was running. That is all I could really contribute it too. I was running a more rounded tire that would slide in the mud, then I went to a more flat tire that wanted to grip with the sidewall. I started running full size old iron spindles on some of them, but if it is a local small show, I leave them.
