Tightening Ball Joints

["Dave Nichols" <dave.nichols@xxxxxxxx>]

If you'll put a floor jack under the ball joint and apply a slight pressure,
you can generate enough friction to start the nut on the bolt.  If it spins,
gently apply more pressure until you can tighten it.  After all, it's a
friction fit into the joint that keeps it from rotating.  Be careful to not
go gorilla and jackt the whole car up with the joint (although it's probably
strong enough to take it)

Good luck
