I'm putting those arms on and i can't figure out how to get the nuts that hold the spindle to the ball joints, to tighten down i tighten them and then the ball starts spinnning inside the joint do you have any pointers for me?

I usually set a jack stand under the ball joint and turn teh wheel so it binds the spindle/ball joint

also, a few taps with a rubber mallet will help seat the ball joint in the spindle to keep it from spinning

Ah, I had this excact problem, I found that the best way is to get a large clamp, we have the kind in our shop that you turn a crank and it will lockdown as tight as you want it.

I cranked it down on the spindle, and the ball joint on the other side and then tighted it up perfectly, you will also need to do this too remove....Do you get what I am saying?
