Ball Joint Surprise 850

I found wicked slop it the front driver side ball joint.
It turned out that the FCP Chinese made control arm/ball joint is OK.
After turning their locking bolt around the slop is gone
They need a hard threaded pin there and NOT an ordinary soft coarse threaded bolt.
FCP was real good about it and promised to send an OEM locking pin.

What a relief since I wasn't overjoyed at getting another $75 alignment.

Bill
