We just finished putting the granada disks on my 65 and ran into a little problem. The lower ball joint doesn't fit snugly and there isn't enough room for the castle nut to force it down like it normally would. Should I get an insert for the lower bj to snug it up or should I replace the lbj with one from a granada? Which one would be harder to do? Where do I get the inserts if that is your answer? TIA, Junkie
