ok... so you have your drag link and tie rod both unhooked on one side, and when you try to bolt them up they spin around? that is the issue right?

On the top of the ball joint bolts is a recess for an allen wrench. It looks like 6 or 8 mm. Get an allen wrench to hold the ball joint and then you can tighten the nut.
