I'll draw a simple layman's explanation out for you two.

The bolt head does not come in contact with the top of the spacer. It comes in contact with the top side of the upper a-arm.

News flash : the balljoint moves. Keep reading ...

When the a-arm is lifted 3/4" the angle changes in relation to the top of balljoint in it's original location. That angle difference is the taper.

If the taper was not there, the balljoint would be pushed outwards.

Obviously a drawing is needed to explain to you both.

I didn't expect this from you guys.

You make something that has been an aftermarket product for years overseas for the same vehicle and you get bashed for it.

Thanks

... good.. bad.. I'm the guy with the gun.
