Hello,
I am currently changing the lower ball joint on my 02 ford explorer sport, I replaced the lower, and I am reassembling it, but the upper ball joint will not go back in the slot, both oem. Its the 2 piece design. I have cleaned the steering knuckle and the ball joint itself, I also tried heating the knuckle up.
Also, The new moog lower ball joint seems to have been pressed too far in. There is a tiny gap between the snap ring and the lower control arm. Should I be worried?
Thanks,
Joe
