Re: Lower Ball Joint Install?!

I had a 1 1/4" socket Andy. I did exactly what you said and with a few bangs of the hammer, it slipped right in! I have it all together now and installed the disc brake conversion (bleeder nipples up) I learned that on the second time around, Erh! But I have a very squeeky passenger side noise that has started now & at lower speeds around 5-10 mph, there is a slight "grabbing" of the brakes on that side. The only thing I can think that might be causing this is that I didnt tighten the spindle castle nut has far down as it could go, then back it off to fit the cotter pin. Maybe a slight wobble to the wheel. I am goin to tear into it this weekend. Thank you forum. I tried looking for the ball joint installer to rent at my local auto store, but turned up nothing. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Im also picking up my T5 camaro with analog speedo and .63 OD this weekend!
