Bad ball joints?

HI there,
This may be more the case that the rubbers have collapsed and give the appearance that they have come loose, they should be attached with nylock self locking nuts, if this is not the case they should be replaced as the bushes.

The rubbers are there and don't appear to be collapsed, the bolts that go through the rubbers and the washers have 1 inch slack, all the rubber bushing are good
