Re: ball joints
Not that I wouldn't replace it, if it came with the joint..........but there is no way that the taper gets any wear. That is a non-moving connection. (No other ball-joint type taper is removable...ie lower or tie-rod) The reason that is even there (movable) is to adjust for any machining irregularities between the housing and knuckle. That is why you tighten the lower joint first and torque the taper down to it.
