I cant say if i installed it right the first time or not. I can tell you where the bolt that comes in contact with the ball joint stud the threads where hammered flat. After installing it again i can move the suspension arm up and down just a bit allowing the ball joint stud to move a bit. the stud is flush with the top of the pinch bolt hardware with the bolt going threw the indentation. So i am guessing that if that bolt is the only thing holding that in, the small amount of play over time could hammer that bolt down and allow the stud to pop free?
