Re: Odd front suspension problem
Yea that is a problem. Back in the day before loaded control arms were around every time we replaced press-in ball joints we tack welded them in position. It prevented call back issues. Pressing the joint out and in can distort the opening if you don't keep everything perfectly square. Then what you have is the condition your experiencing as a result. If I felt good about the condition of the ball joint I would clean it up an put two tack welds on it and call it good. Stock car racers in the lower classes always tack them down. Good luck
