What I saw when I went through the Van Nuys plant in 1990 and 1992 was the control arms already had the ball joints installed. They were dipped in the paint but left the end with the ball joint unpainted. There was a definite line where the paint stopped right before the ball joint.

On the bushing washers, I agree they were painted black.

Believe that started with the 1970 model year.

We used to stock upper control arms; they were furnished with the ball joint installed after paint less shaft, bushings and hardware.
