steeda x2's and bumpsteer kit
first of all, i just wanna say that YES i did search before posting, and did not find what i was looking for. ok now, here's what i got. i ordered the steeda x2 ball joints, along with the steeda bump-steer kit. tonight i was attempting to install them, and i read over the directions like 100 times and couldn't figure out what the hell they were talking about. the tapered end on the balljoint doesn't fit through the whole on the new rod end. and they give you 2 extra bolts with tapers, and room for spacers, but don't really specify where EXACTLY they go. i think they go to the front sway bar though, so that's ok. but wtf is with the balljoints not fitting? they're both directly from steeda! somebody please help me clear this all up.

Did you put the X2 in your Lower control arm yet?
The knuckle is the part that holds the wheel. It is connected to the bottom of the Strut (in the pic the red thing that you can see 2 bolts behind the ABS wire). and the other end is bolted to the ball joint that you pushed into the lower control arm. I'll see if I can find better pics.
