Right now when i tighten the crown bolt on there it is still very tight with no play. I know that on new ball joints the screw is very stiff and new joints have new bags with greese. On mine you can move the screw no problem and the bag is torn but, like I said above, when I tighten the bolt and have the Hub arm thingy connected to it.. it just has no play at all.
Do i still need to replace the joint?
