When putting my new ball joints in, I tightened the nut on the spindle with an impact on low torque, then put my torgue wrench on to verify the tightness, and the nut and spindle spun in the balljoint housing....what is up with that?.....Is the spindle broken?....I looked at the other new ball joint that I had not installed yet and I could turn the spindle in the joint, so it seems like if it turns it is no big deal, but it concerns me if something is broken. The joint is tight, but not sure what to make of it when I can't torque it.
I probably should just take the ball joint back to Advance Auto and tell them I want a new one. My impact will probably remove the nut in spite of the spindle spin, if it is needed. If not, I will prolly just cut it off.
Tell me if the spindle can spin in the ball joint when installed.
