control arm/ball joint question
well i have 87-93 control arms with sn95 ball joints in them, thats the way they were ordered from AJE. i need to use the 87-93 style ball joint, so i got a pair and took them to be replaced...... got the old one out and the new one will not go in. if you have ever had a ball joint out there is a lip about 1/4" wide and 1/4" high that runs around the bottom of the joint.. this lip is what is stopping the ball joint from being pressed in, it hits the "ring" before the press area can contact where it is to be pressed.
NOW on the sn95 joint it looks as if that lip was ground/machined off. has any one had any experience with this? is it ok to grind that down?
