Redoing the front suspension on my 68 C20 truck. No problem to press out the lower ball joints with my trusty ball joint press.Well ,the new ball joints just dont wanna press back in . I measured the new and old joints, the new ones are 25 thousand larger diameter. What gives? the replacementss are USA made McQuay Norris. 25 thousands is wat to much of a press fit in the rather thick control arm metal.
