So I got it out:


I used the scissor jack and jammed the side of the ball joint at the bottom in the slot, and kept using an impact wrench. Kept shooting it tight and loose and the nut moved up so slowly but it came right out at the end. I can't even screw it back on (only to test)

I put the new arm in and did a rough adjustment myself. The car drives fine now but there is a "whomp whomp" sound that comes out over 70 km per hour. Any ideas on what it could be ? I'm thinking maybe bearing

Could be the bearing or you are really out of alignment. I don't care how confident people are in their eyeball calibration an alignment can not be done without proper equipment. Step one would be to0 jack it up and spin the wheel and pull on it from side to side to see if there is any obvious bearing play. Step two is either replace the bearing or get a real alignment. Neither step should include any driving around at speed since the results if something fails could be way worse than hitting a curb.
