OD missed the question completely.

Everyone wants to know how to take the slop out of the pivot balls in the lower control arms and the upper eyelet.

What Kevin said to do is put some CA on the ball, let it dry, and then pop it back into the lower control arm and upper eyelet. Of course, remembering to press the ball in through the larger hole. Then insert the kingpin and work the ball around until it is free. Slop all gone! Eventually you will have to replace everything as that is a one or two time fix only.
