I was out shooting with my brother and girlfriend. When we left I took the jeep and turned aronud in the ditch. It was a hard right wheel turned as far as it would go kind of turn. We did a circle and once back on the road noticed something was wrong. My upperball joint disconnected fro the control arm. We jacked it up and proceeded to set the ball joint back in the spindle. Drove it home slowly now wondering what I should do next?

Is it safe to drive or should I replace the joint right away.

Spare the lives of the rest of the folks on the road and replace it! You have to replace the whole arm, or you can "upgrade" to JBA arms with serviceable ball joints.
