Re: Ball joint to big for LCA...

Believe me I strived really hard to get them perfectly seated. I must have spent at least two hours trying to seat the first one. I ended up temporarily mounting the a-arm on the truck so I could hold it from spinning while I tightened the clamp. I think I might have bottomed out the ball joint against my pressing tool. I kept checking it with allen wrench in the gap (where it would seat eventually), but it was half way in when it lightly bottomed out on my setup. So I wasn't sure how I could correct it or knock out of alignment at that point... either way I am bummed if they weren't going to be seated perfect I would have rather just had a shop do it and save me all the time to learn it since I won't be doing it to many times.
