My bilstein safe @ 2.1 and I have ball joint issues

[Rustycowl69]

I am surprised the stud didn't break, first, at 120 ftlbs! I don't know about your specific brand or app, but some boots have a little notch or hole to bleed out excess grease. If so, you turn the notch away from the braking surface, so as not to contaminate the friction surfsces.

Kinda blurry but that grease is coming from a hole in the boot. I just wiped it off and it oozed out that much. Oh well. New one on the way from rock auto. Still no answer from mevotech customer support.
Truck is on a lift, ready for new parts

This may be a bleeder port for excess grease to expel ... the grease must go somewhere or you would never be able to purge out old and put in new , maybe you just put too much in that side . Check the other side , you may have one there as well .

Lol I just read rustycowl69 s post above after I posted , too funny

I guess their right side is different from mine. Or did I install these on the wrong side. **** me. Someone go look at their truck and tell me what side this new one is suppose to go one. Please.

So wait you bought 2 of the same UCA?

 

[lukedukem]

I clicked on right side and the left was in the box or I installed them backwards. I need the passenger side. Maybe I'm dumb. But I thought the passenger side was the right side.
**** man, idk
It's very obvious I need help. So if anyone out there can look at that pic help me

I don't remember the part numbers off the top of my head, but one ends in 7 (driver), the other 8 (passenger)

Upper Left = CMS251057

Upper Right = CMS251058

When you loo at the uppers the all joint will been to the rear; if it's to the front then it's the wrong side.

 

[lukedukem]

So which side is in the one I just posted. I had to re order the passenger side. Which I was led to believe is the right side. So did they send me the wrong one. Part # ended in 8. So that says it's right side or passenger. But I got the part above.

Calm down if you've made a mistake you can correct it. It happens.
Yes passenger side is right side of vehicle.
You have posted a pic with 2 upper arms then asked what side "it " is. Are you asking about the one with out grease?.
To me the way it's been described as being the non greased is for the right side.

 

[lukedukem]

If the one without the grease is truly for the right side then I installed these wrong sides. But I matched them to the ones I took off and they had the same curves. That why I red someone to go take a pic or look at their truck to see if I have these right or wrong.

Hopefully someone will, that has them. Is there any # or anything to id what side the are.
I haven't read the install thread for Bilstein's have you? Is there any pics of both Bilsteins and mevotech ?
It's Friday night you might have to wait for somebodies help tomorrow.
Sorry I can't be of any help I'm still trying to save money to lift mine.
