The ball joint on my new LCA doesn't move - even if I tap (not pound) it with a hammer. The ones off the donor moved easily. Am I being dense? What's wrong?

Hey Xusia,
New (good) ball joints are tight. The ones off your donor sound like they are bad.
Compare the lower joints to the big upper joints supplied by FFR. I think you will find they are similar thghtness.
Put a spindle on the lower arm. You should be able to bend it back and forth. The spindle will probably stand by itself with a new ball joint.

OK then. I'll try that when I get to that point, and not worry about it until then. Thanks a bunch!
