They say that the nut size was incorrect. The nut certainly shouldn't keep the part from coming out as threre should be a sleeve or spacer the ensure that it stays in place. Never hear of the lower arm depending or riding on the nut to keep it in place. In fact, the OEM has a clip under the lower arm to secure it in place.

Sorry, my computer locked up, but wanted to add if the nut was smaller than the LCA opening there should be a washer or clip that would need to be used, or naturally a larger castle nut.

This guy says you have to remove that little race before you can pull out the ball joint. Is that true? And is it difficult? Require a special tool? Thanks..
