Hello, trying to see what my options are here. My mechanic was installing my Tereflex HD ball joint joints on my 2014 JKUR. Driver's side went fine. Passenger lower turned when installing...So now one of the grease fittings is going to contact the wheel assembly when put back together. Not sure if / how I can straighten it out without messing up the grease fittings? Appreciate your experience and advice here!

Grease Fitting should be facing side, not wheel.

 

There is no simply turning a BJ, it is a complete press out and re-press in. If that zerk if going to be an issue then i see 2 options, 1) make the mechanic fix it as they should have recognized the issue themselves and fixed it right at that moment, or 2) possibly use a lower clearance zerk like for a needle fitting -

 

Thanks for the options!
Follow-up question, has anyone removed one of these style lower ball joints without destroying the tops? Would appreciate your sharing on how you got it out without destroying the grease fitting shrouds?

 

It looks like you need a knurled ball joint.

 

How is that going to make contact as the wheel assembly will be the same distance at any steering angle? Just might be a pain to get the grease gun on. Will the u-joint clear? Have you tried for clearance?
