Interestingly enough, I've just started doing the ball joints for my new discs, and the first three went on fine, but the fourth one is loose - without *any* shims! I might need to grind it down a little.
It's a dud, toss it away and find another for safety. Even good s/h is better than some of the badly made cheapo ones.
I totally agree Doc,,,
i still have some new old stock genuine ball joints here that i`m keeping for Marlys & my own minis
but i have a bucket of old 2nd hand genuine joints that i quite often use to sort-out all the crappy chinese ones that we have to do along the way
be very very very very careful boys n girls,,, this is one subject that you really do 100% need to listen in class about.
Whatever you do-> do not have your ball-joints "Grabby",,,
they will undo themselves & the big nut/socket will fall off.
