Hi all,

 

Ive taken a video so hopefully someone can tell me if my new ball joints are fooked or not?

Basicly they are brand new and was really stiff..But after taking the hubs to the welders to get them adapted to fit my calipers they came back like what you can see if the video. There is resistance when moving them but nothing like they was when they was originally fitted. Imn guessing the heat of the welding has loosened them up.

 

What do you think?

 

Thanks Dan

would say thats normal as the Heat would of melted the grease a little

long as there no side to side , in out movement alls ok

they look fine. as long as there's no play then all is well!!

You will know for sure when you connect them up,

but on the face of it, they look fine.

Look fine to me as well, as said as long as there's no slack or play then no problems.

dan i fitted a brand new one today, they move the same as yours, once the hicas or lock out bar is attached, with the wheel on, try moving the wheel.

Thanks for your replys ill bolt them up and see what happens. Thanks

once bolted up try a crowbar very caerfully behind to see if you get any movement in and out, they should be fine though

Looks fine, just check for up an down play or harder to move in certain spots. From the movements you were doing look fine though.
