Hit the ball joint down so it is firmly seated then tighten up the nut. If the thread is slightly damaged then the tie rod may turn, in this case hold the end of the bolt with some vice grips to stop it turning and continue to tighten the nut. When the nut gets tight you will no longer need the vice grips, tighten up the nut and insert the split pin. How do you stop the ball jointsand tie rod ends from turning while trying to tighten the nuts?

That is doubtful. It sounds like you have a 4x4 vehicle and the front CV axles (or U-joints depending on how it is set up) are bad. typically you can first detect the joints going bad when turning in reverse. After a while, you will begin noticing the popping while driviing forward and turning if not repaired.

What joint are the vertebral disks that allow twisting turning and sliding?

The joints between the vertebral disks that allow twisting, turning, and sliding are the facet joints, also known as zygapophyseal joints. These are synovial joints located between the articular processes of adjacent vertebrae. They enable a range of movements in the spine, including rotation and lateral bending, while providing stability and support. The intervertebral disks themselves act as shock absorbers and allow for some degree of movement between the vertebrae.
