Just finished overhauling D44 front axle.
New Spicer ball joints, 706116X, upper and lower, both sides.
29 miles since install, driving at about 30 mph, and get death wobble.
Drive home and start looking for what I left loose.
Discover play in ball joints.
Nuts are all tight.
Studs are tight in tapered bores.
Slop is in ball joints, can see it in 3 of 4.
Do I order more Spicers, or go with Moog?
