I just took my PB lower control arm to a shop and had the lower ball joint pressed in..... But I think I screwed up. Was the boot that holds the greese in suppose to be pressed in with the ball joint or does it just hang loose over the top of the control arm? I will need to take this back up to the shop and have them redo it if I screwed up. Hopefully this is fixable.
