    The ball joint spin freely in the Upper Control Arm receptical. Any idea how to fix it? Tried all different brand of ball joints that I could get my hands on still with luck. Moog does have a oversize ball joint, however it's not for this application. What do you guys think about weld it in. Is it even safe?

    First I would check with Camburg. The brand Loctite does make bearing and sleeve retaining compound and you select it by how much clearance there is.

    Are you sure those arms are not meant to use uniballs?

    Did you get the arms used or did you pick them up brand new?

    I know the difference between uniball and ball joint. I took out a ball joint, which just fall out without being pressed. The other side is fine.

    I'm not questioning your intelligence. Easy bro, just looking at it from the outside in without any info other than what I have on the original post.

    Was the previous ball joint worn out? Its almost as if the cup is defective or worn out somehow which shouldn't be happening.

    Since the sleeve is doing as you indicated, I would pick up a sleeve as previously suggested to get it all nice and tight back in there by Loctite if necessary, but I do know a joint is not supposed to rotate in the cup.
