Rear upper ball joint position

chriswilsonMember

Hi all am about to start reinstalling rear suspension. Need to install upper ball joint first. The is a little vertical line on the ball joint can some one show me a picture of this installed or tell me what the line on the ball joint matches up too.

Cheers

That line is to line up with the straight tube on the arm, it is so the ball joint pivots only in and out not in a circle, so see how the arm moves and line in up with the straight tube.

Thanks for that, I had guessed as much, just needed it confirmed before pressing the joint back in place. And having to redo work, much appreciated.

Do you have the tool that has a bevel in 1/2 of the tool to fit to the shape of the bevel in the arm?

No, is this to aid in pressing the joint in straight?
