[TR] Ball joint fitment

[David Friedlander]

Hey all ~

Anyone else had trouble mounting TRF's ball joint 200272 to the upper
control arms?

Moss' diagram is, of course, much more complete:

I have compared my old ball joints to the new ones and find that the
shaft stem (to the upper control arms) of the new ones is 0.110 shorter
than the old ones. While TRF does include the "correct mounting hardware,"
the shorter stem length means the only way to secure the castle nut with a
cotter pin onto the shorter length stem is to NOT use the included 9/16"
washer. Is this a problem?

Perhaps a thinner washer would help.... Or i could jump on the ratchet
wrench with a cheater bar....

Anyone?

Dave
