Subject:Steering knuckle install
From:Michael

Hey guys and gals,

I'm installing the steering knuckle with new lower and upper ball joints. The Bentley states that it had to be installed a certain way so the lower joint boot doesn't tear. 

From my perspective it can only be installed one way: thread the lower ball joint through the hole and attach and then just attach the upper joint. 

It seems pretty straight forward. Am I missing something here? The last thing I want is to install the knuckle, then have the boot tear on the lower joint. 

Suggestions? Comments? Words of wisdom all appreciated. 

Mike
