Default control arm rebuild

Picked up a set of used front lower control arms for my 2 door. They say teraflex..not sure if new or old style of joint. They have two grease fittings on each arm.

Should I rebuild these ..or get brand new joints

They look like Johnny Joints. Do teraflex use a snap ring retainer as well? I have no experience with teraflex joints.

Is there play in the joints?

Rebuild kits are about $12 for the teraflex and would be worth doing if you have sloppy joints. You can replace with the metal cloak kit but they recommend running duroflex on both ends of the arms.
