I missed uploading the lower ball joint pic. Just did it though. Its noticeable the rip in the boot, and I do feel that sometimes something gets out of place and back in, im seriously thinking this could be the reason. I tried rocking the tire up and down, not sure what i got, but from right to left I could clearly hear the Hunner steering rack clamp hit on the steel bracket. No matter what Im doing its not getting there 100% secured!
Backcountryislife, I missed that post but I saw what seems to be the difference. In my case I lost one of the bushings, so its not possible to re-use the oem bushings. But in a setup like mine, or yours, I think its better to have a bump stop cushioning the UCA when it goes down all the way than to use the shock itself to be doing this instead. In Hunners setup, he says that even without the shock connected the UCA doesnt drop all the way unless he disconnects, which clearly isnt the case in my or ur setup. I think its better not to risk damaging the shock, it could be not designed for this maybe.
