Ball Joint Installmobzs 01-15-2011, 10:42 PM I replaced all my ball joints and tie rods on my 98 Blazer. It went easier than I thought it would, except for the last ball joint. It's not sitting on the knuckle as do the other ones. Is this ok to leave it installed or do I need to change it out again? snshddog 01-16-2011, 08:37 AM Looks like there might be a burr or some obstruction not letting it settle into place. I would look further into it to be safe. It is unlikely but that rubber could be short and you are fine then. That said,, better safe than sorry. mobzs 01-16-2011, 08:55 AM Thanks for the reply. No burrs I inspected before installing it. Is the rubber boot suppose to sit flat on the knuckle? snshddog 01-16-2011, 09:01 AM yes it is supposed to sit solid between the joint as a weather seal and to hold in grease better.
