Lower Control Arm Question???

I'm under my truck today and notice that the lower control arm balljoints are tack welded in. I'm thinking that this is not the safest thing in the world.

Anyone have suggestions on how to repair.

1. Buy another set of lowers.
2. Grind off welds and find oversized ball joint. (Are these available, if so where?)
3. Leave as is. (Probably not)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
