Provided both parts are paint, dirt and grease free, they should be fine.
some light taps with a fibre hammer may help settle the joints in a bit.
Put some copper grease on the retainer nut too.

Put some weight on it, ie with the jack under the bottom arm.

Like they said above - put a jack under and carefully pump it up a bit or the other way is to lower the car down with a length of 4 x 2 (or similar) on its end (of course) under the ball joint.

A lock (spring) washer should not be used with a flat washer. It defeats the purpose of the spring washer... as the flat washer can spin it undone. :wink:

A new spring washer... :wink:
The idea of a spring washer is the ends bite in and prevent it unscrewing.
Alternatively, use a Nyloc nut, no washer needed.
