I'm having trouble getting the upper ball joint, Moog is the manufacturer of the ball joint, to fit into the control arm. The ball joint has teeth or grooves around it and the control arm does not. Is that a problem?

Hello, my name is Roy and I will be assisting you today.

There does not need to be splines in the arm. It is a press-fit into the control arm.

Can you post me a picture to view?

Roy
