Default Ball Joint Q's

I'm re-installing my lift kit and I've put everything back together and my ball joints are giving me a problem. I try to tighten them and they just spin when I tighten them how can I prevent this problem.

sounds like they are busted, they may need to be pressed out and replaced.

Is it just the stud spinning, or the whole joint? If it is the stud, just put some pressure on the knuckle and use an impact wrench.
