Front suspension help needed

[BigKriss]

I keep on hearing a clunk when I go over bumps in the road. Looking retrospecitvely, I think when I got my h&r lowered springs and koni shocks the clunking sound was was more pronounced.

I've already placed an order at BMA auto parts for the front suspension. I'm receiving:
- front swaybar links - pair
- center tie rod
- two tie rods
- idler arm

I had the car on some stands today and I took these pics. These are from the left hand side - but the right is in similar condition.

The ball joints of the upper thrust arms don't look good. I recently had the bushings replaced.

Can I replace the ball joint or do I have to replace the whole arm, in pic 1 - http://www.bimmer.info/forum/attachm...ntid=878&stc=1

you can see a crack in the rubber of the thrust arm ball joint - this is of concern for me and I think the clunking is maybe? coming from here and the front swaybar links.

My other pics are

- how the tie rod is sitting - not straight - pics 2 and 3

Can you guys please help a newbie mechanic?
