Default front spring problem resolved!

Just going to replace the ball joint and put it back together without replacing the A frame bushings. Thanks for all your help. I know you tried.
I have no clue as to what happened but this morning I put a socket & extension on the bolt thru the engine compartment side & managed to turn and loosen the bolt. A few hits with the BFH from the bottom and the A frame fell off. I am a happy man!! Just when I had given up, I thought I'll give it one last shot.

Default Stock fender gap?
What is the stock fender gap? My car already had the aluminum parts when I bought it so I have no reference.
