Issue installing E90 rear carrier ball joint.
Hello everyone. Long time lurker and first time posting.
To the point, I'm replacing the rear carrier ball joints on our daughters 08' E90 Sedan. I've already replaced the passenger side ball joint with no issues. This morning I pressed out the drivers side, it came out very easily. The issue is, when I went to press in the new one, it slides into the mount (yolk) with no resistance. It's seems as if the whole has been previously enlarged. The replacement ball joint is correct (33326792553) Lemforder 364260. Any ideas? I'm at a loss. |

Possible but the ball joint needs to be 1-1.5 mm wider. I'm hoping that it doesn't turn into a full on MacGyver solution.
Here are a few pics. |
