SO I finally got my 2 brandy new First Line FBJ 5150 Ball joints from my dealer. Planning on doing both lowers. A couple of questions:
Each Ball joint came with a small bag with 3 sheet metal pieces. One large thin washer that will fit under the base of the large threaded base of the Ball Joint, also one small rectangle, and one T shaped piece, both with a hole the size of the threaded tapered shaft. What the heck are these? Are these used in our application? I am assuming not.
When the front of the car is jacked up with the A-Arm (wishbone) hanging down loose, tire off the ground. Is the Spring fully relaxed?
As far as removing the base/body of the Ball Joint from the upright with the huge 46MM nut on it. How have people been doing this with the least drama?
