Second control arm question
Sorry should have asked this with my last thread.
When I reassemble my new control arms to the spindle, and spindle to tie rod, how do I "press" the ball joints onto the spindle. Do I push them thru to get the nut on, then tighten the nuts to press the ball joint thru the spindle?
How do I know when they are on far enough. Do I then torque the nuts, or just back off a certain amount, then install the cottor pin?
Any help in appreciated.
Mike

Its a taper fit, so I just torque to 75 ft lbs then tight to get the hole for the cotter pin to line up.
