would these be taken off to do the front ball joint then, or to do the track rod end ball joints?

For the ball joints, there is also a 13mm bolt that needs undoing too

ball joint in on the lower arm, ie the bit your looking at

track rod ends are the bit that connect to the hub that does the steering to put it into simple terms

i had to take it back because they didnt do the tracking after and it was miles out, was trying to hold the steering wheel straight and it was going onto the wrong side of the road. so it went back in for the tracking, which still isnt perfect as i cant hold wheel straight without it going to one side, and now i've got this knocking, already been without the car for 3 days
