I'm rebuilding a front suspension for an 85 2wd Westy. I have it all apart and por15 applied. I attempted pressing a lower ball joint, but the adaptor pushed through the ball joint shoulders, ruining it. Can anyone recommend a specific ball joint installation kit? Also, the ball joints I purchased (one of which is ruined,) are PEX (with VAG printed on label,) from Bus Depot. Are these adequate, or should I go with the Moog, as recommended by T3 Technique? Also, tried pressing Lower Control Arm Bushing on one arm, and the bulging prevents the last 10% of the rubber bushing from going in. Any tips? Is there a tool kit that is proven for this job? from Harbor Freight? Snap On? or any vendor.......
