That sounds like the the ball joints for the El Camino front A-arms, top and bottom. The factory puts in rivets to hold them in place. It is just a lot of drilling to remove them. They get replaced with high grade bolts and nuts. The biggest challenge is the GIANT coil spring. It is very terrifying compressing that spring to get it out, and back in. The rear springs are a cinch. Just remove the shocks from the bottom connection and the trailing arms drop down far enough to just reach in and take out the spring, no compression at all.
For the 911 there are no coil springs at all for the suspension. The only spring that is darn near impossible to compress is the spring for the flag mirror. One needs the hand strength of Terminator or a gorilla to compress it.
