The problem that I am having may be caused by the upper ball joint spacers. I finally got the passenger side lower ball joint out-it wasn't pretty. Now there isn't enough room to get the new one in! They are the correct replacements but not enough room. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> Am I going to have to take the upper one out to get the lower one in?

After I installed a set of spacers on a project rig, I went back and replaced all of the ball-joints with no problems. Did you also crank up the t-bars for mor lift? if you did, this may be why you vcan't get enough room. More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
