The ball-joint bolt is spinning right? If it is, clean up the threads real good and try a different/new nut, also press the balljoint into the lca as hard as you can ( I put a bottle jack under the lca and jacked up on it and then leaned on the hub)
Nah, dosent mean its on its way out... it will spin when its brand new, its just a matter of getting the tapered part of the stud seated into the control arm... like the other guy said, stick a small jack under the arm to put pressure on it, the nut should tighten just fine then.
