The ball joint on my new LCA doesn't move - even if I tap (not pound) it with a hammer. The ones off the donor moved easily. Am I being dense? What's wrong?
Here's a pic of the part:

Hey Xusia,
New (good) ball joints are tight. The ones off your donor sound like they are bad.
Compare the lower joints to the big upper joints supplied by FFR. I think you will find they are similar thghtness.
Put a spindle on the lower arm. You should be able to bend it back and forth. The spindle will probably stand by itself with a new ball joint.

OK then. I'll try that when I get to that point, and not worry about it until then. Thanks a bunch! :)
