68 Charger steering issue

After looking at front end closely, I ordered a complete rebuild kit. The upper ball joints look brand new except the boots are destroyed and not a drop of grease ever put in. The spindles are new along with the disc kit. Not sure why the other shop didn't address these issues. They also didn't bother putting a cotter pin on one side and the castle nut was hand tight. Looking at everything, this car was a few bumps away from disaster.
