I went to do a whole front end rebuild this weekend
I did not find this to be correct, The seal sits correct now,
but when brought down to the spindle, it comes completly
off the ball joint

Another error for aftermarket parts

it appears to be the wrong joint. There should not be that big a space between spindle and end of control arm.
