Ball Joint Adj. Screw
Hey guys.....just replaced the ball joints on my GM 10 bolt and needed to know if is necessary to replace the adjusting screw for the top ball joint?? The kit was provided with new ones but I don't have the spanner socket to remove/replace...so I was curious if is imperative?? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Yes, it should be replaced and the screw reset for the new Ball Joint. Your local auto parts store should carry the socket
