Front driver side lower ball joint broke and factory installed it with ribbits it looks like and I was wondering what would be the best way to replace it?

THe OEM rivits are drilled out and replaced with bolts. Make sure to use a case hardened bolt. Usually they come with the new ball joint.

Let me know if you have other questions.
