You mean you just kept installing them even though it looked pen 15eyed? Maybe I should just put the impact gun on it.

What's the diff in ball joints? both should be tight, right?

Since I brought this up in a couple different forums, I'm going to respond in those forums too as a warning to others.

I spent a couple weeks trying to get the Advance auto parts el cheapo ball joints in and all they did was get pen 15 eyed and create a ridge inside the LCA. Finally took them back and ordered Moog. I had them installed in 30 seconds each.

Warning: If you are doing front ball joints AVOID the cheapo brands and buy Moog. Best extra $50 I ever spent.

To clarify, You dont rent the too from the 'Zone. They simply let you borrow it with a deposit on the tool. If you want to keep it, Its yours. If you buy a tool off the sales floor and try to return it people will look at you funny.

And yes, go for the Moog pieces, Much better part.
