Re: Ball Joint Wont Sit In Spindle
Pics are not real clear. What year truck and what year spindles? looks like it is a year mis match. May be as simple as a new lower ball joint.

Re: Ball Joint Wont Sit In Spindle
Yes, there are three different year break down for spindles,
63-70 71-72 73-87 You must match the ball joints to the same year spindle. Since you don't list what year your truck is, it's hard to know what to tell you. Some more info would be helpful, like year of truck, did it already have disc brakes or drums, etc.

Re: Ball Joint Wont Sit In Spindle
sorry for the late update but everything was fine and correct. my problem was the boots did not have grease. once I greased it up the rubber covered what it was suppose to and the wheels straightened up. the top of the tire was leaning in on both sides.
