Re: Ball joints?

Your inner (or outer, for that matter), should slide onto your spindle with a little resistance, it's not like a pinion bearing that needs to be pressed on. They should have slight resistance. The way you have it now, you won't get your wheel bearing seal to seat in the hub.

Also, your inner bearing isn't packed, that I could see. Again, pack the bearing, install into hub, pack the seal, tap seal onto hub, then install onto spindle. I had a spindle last week that was too tight, you might have a burr, and need to use some emery cloth to clean your spindle.

I meant your brake backing plate, that you hang the caliper off of. Like I said, I might be an idiot because your just mocking things up, but USUALLY you install spindle, backing plate, nuts (the one photo a few posts ago with red arrows), then hub, etc....
