#680046 - 05/05/13 08:06 AM Question for those that have replaced lower ball joints
slantyshanty Member Registered: 24/06/09 Posts: 283 Loc: Northern Michigan	Did mine thus weekend with Moog. Curious how far the SHOULD stick out, on top with the nut. I tightened them until they were pretty much flush with the top of the nut and I couldn't turn it any more. But feeling underneath the LCA, there is still some space and I can't remember if there was a lip or something to stop it at a certain point. _________________________ 2004 World Champ - 4x4 Man Trans - Silver - 3"SL+2"BL - Revolvers - Rancho RS9000XL's - Rancho RS5000 stab w/IAB - ARB rear locker - 34" BFG MT's Soft 8's - Blood red Shrock Sliders - Mean Green 180A - Optima 31 Bluetop - U-bolt skids - Hz+dB's

The exact length of the new ball joint of course could change that position...but I think I also used Moogs. Hopefully you didn't seat it with a burr or a spec of detritus keeping it from going all the way down, etc. _________________________ - TJ 2001 Xterra '03 VG33, SE 5 spd, 305/70/16's, Revolvers, UBSkidderz, Doubled AAL's, 3"SL/2"BL, winch/bumpers, skids, sliders, OBA, Snorkel, pine stripes....
