Ok so I got a dumb question. I just replaced all the ball joints in my truck and when I went to align the truck they couldnt align it due to not enough movement in the bolts. Now I looked at the pictures in the begining of this thread and my bolts arent the same as the ones pictured. They have a square washer on the nut end as opposed to the elliptical one I saw pictured. Now after some more reasearch I find there is a replacement bolt kit available, Im assuming it has the elliptical washer shown in the pics, but my question is this...why in the hell does mine have a square washer that allows for zero movement and therefore you cant align the damn truck??? It makes no sense to me whatsoever. The truck has 235k miles on it, I took out the original ford control arms, and thats what I found?? anyone got any suggestions on this one???
