I bought a control arm kit and I thought I was going to be done today but I guess I was wrong.
I removed the lower arms and the ball joints on the new ones were tapered but the old ones were straight. I was thinking I may have removed a tapered seat that was pressed into the spindle but I was not going to take the chance of heating and trying to press it off and possibly destroying any chance of me getting it back together at least to drive until I found out what the difference was.
Do I just have the wrong lower arms or am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
