Balljoints

[charlie]

Help I know I read on here some were that people drilled there spindles the put bigger bolts in to keep the ball joint stud tighter I can't find the post on what exactly was done and what size bolt was used?? I have been trying to figure this noise out in my front end that's heard mostly when turning and turning left. I have new bearing and ball joints but I did notice that were the balljoints stud goes in after the bolt is threw it I have players not the ball joint it's the stud moving in the spindle and its looser on the right side. Please help

I also thought could be the diff but that has been rebuilt and the fluid looks pretty good

Just drill the bolt hole that holds the ball joints.Drill this bolt hole the next size bigger.Than get a bolt the size of the new hole.Get it about 3/8 longer so you can use a nut on the other side. You will need the nut because you will have drilled the threads out when you drilled the bigger hole.Make sure the bolt is long enough to use the nut on the other side.

Thanks Matt
