Denunzio36 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Need some help here folks. I'm replacing the ball joints on my 2000 Legacy GT, and after FINALLY getting them out, I'm not sure if the housing in the knuckle is good. Based on the design of the ball joint housing on the knuckle (pinch design), isn't there supposed to be a protruding ring on the inside of the ball joint hole in the knuckle? The ball joint has a groove around the base, which I'd assume mates with a ring in the hole. Well, after I removed mine, the walls on the ball joint hole are 100% flush... No protruding ring that mates with the ball joint. My question is... Is this normal? Do I need new knuckles?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
