Steering Arm Ball Joint Dodgy?

[kennyh]

Hi Guys

I'm replacing my lower ball joints and on putting things back together I've notice that my steering arm ball joint bolt spins, and as such I cant get the nut tightened.

I take it it need replaced? Or do I simply put a set of grips on the bottom of the bolt.?

Keep or replace??

Cheers
Kenny

Best bet is to use a 'G' clamp to wedge the taper down. Then do up the nut. If there is play in the joint then replace it.
