Knuckle seperating?

Well not to long ago I went to a mechanic and he said that my knuckle had separated about 4 mm from my control arm. Has anyone had this problem before, if so what can I do to fix this problem? The mechanic has no idea what has caused the problem, but I think it maybe the stress my eibach springs are causing. My other mods are ingalls camber kits front and rear, eibach springs on stock shocks. Thanks for your help.

So, it's lifting up from the lower control arm, correct?

i'm guessing so, you probably know more than I do. That is just what the mechanic told me.

If that's the case, probably you need a new lower ball joint. They don't sell it separate from the factory (they make you buy entire knuckle assemble without wheel bearings), but there are aftermarket replacement ball joints.
