If they were hardened, you would not be able to bend them.

Sounds like you might have the wrong ball joints but without pics, it's hard to say.

Did the ball joint separate from the spindle, or did the ball joint itself come apart. I once had a lower ball joint come apart. Luckily my wife at the time was driving slow on a dirt road.
