Was the joint splitter the one from Harbor Freight?
I need to get one for my steering linkage's replacement on the TE and I wasn't sure if the HF one will do or not.

Did this job. One question:
Should the ball joint be flush with the steering knuckle? This is as far as I could get it wiggling, pounding, and using the impact on the nut. The other side that has been on the car since I bought it from the PO has the same amount of clearance and isn't flush either. So either they screwed up before or that's the way it is supposed to be. |
