Went out today for a few , was too cold to stay out there to long and is about to snow.Anyway I took some pics of everything apart with the knuckles painted black with tremclad , put the ball joints in on both sides and put the steering knuckles back on.I tried to press them back on but they only went on so far with a gap on top and bottom , but more pronounced on the top side.I can't remember if there was a gap there when I took everything apart , so hopefully someone looking at the pics can verify this or not.Maybe when they are torqued down it might suck them in a little more?

This is the gap on the top ball joint where the knuckle sits.

Here is the bottom one , the next pic is a close up of the bottom , but is a little blurry but the gap is noticed a little more.

It is supposed to warm up for the weekend , so I will try and finish that up , finish putting the new steering links on , put everything back together and get it all torqued up then take it in for an alignment.
