The upper ball joint doesnt not fully seat into them like the factory. Anyone else notice this? there is a very noticeable gap between the top of the spindle and the ball joint boot.

 

anybody else had this issue?

 

The ball joint shaft is seated in the taper of the spindle. The boot just isn't long enough to cover it up. This is normal. I believe they revised this on the newer spindles. Won't cause any issues and is safe to drive.

 

I pulled out the dial calpiers and everything seemed close i was just getting some other opinions. I think i am going to just get some generic grease boots and put them on over the current ones to help keep dust out and grease in.

Thanks agian!

they do that to help with the alignment. mines the same way but my boot comes down far enough

 

Mine are the same. No ill effects since last October when I put them on.
