Needless to say your ball-joint is likely fine, but your strut is ruined.
Honestly I'm not sure. If I did it barely turned because I was trying my best to not let it spin since I had read all the warnings about spinning it. But it is possible since this is the one I did first when I installed them.

Thanks for the quick response!!
