Re: Re: Front Ball Joints

The spacer ring and shims are essential so that the cups can be clamped tightly together and give the ball the correct movement. If the nuts are backed off to achieve movement of the balls the cups will chatter in the housings as stated before. The “adjustable” bottom fitting are just to tighten the cups in the housing the same as the top joints, again these should not be backed off to achieve the correct movement.

I have posted this as the correct way to assemble the swivel joints as there is a lot of misinformation on this particular subject. How each person choses to setup his or her car is of course their own choice.

Happy tractioning.
