Default Re: Lower Ball joint replacement?.....ED Help!!

Zerk fitting on old or new joint? For the old joint my cup on the press sat way over the zerk. On the first removal I did remove the zirk, but on the second I saw no need.

Zerk on the new joint I did not install until after the joint was pressed in. I did, and here's a nice little trick, chalk mark the zerk hole with the lower control arm so I could make sure it went in aligned up. Helped a ton. And on my first joint I did press in and back out due to zirk alignment.
