I've used per link on all D1 ball joints. Should cover a reasonable size range. Joint makes a bang when it lets go. I wear safety glass and try to keep some coach work between the job and my head in case the tools tip shatters (unlikely, as I'm assuming cast steel rather than cast iron).
And if you eventually work your way to the steering note you should align the drop arm and steering box markers first. Steering rod, have the centre of the ball joint the specified distance from end of the rod. Correct ball distance should then give correct overall length. Ditto drag link, ball centre distances from ends of rod lead to overall length. No good screwing the joins in randomly to achieve overall length.
