Disclaimer: I have read many forums for the swap I am currently doing but this is one thing I never ran across while reading. Yes I searched.
So I'm putting a complete s14 subframe into my s13 and so far so good. The only fitment problem I've run into is the s14 ball joint not sitting flush inside of the z32 upright/spindle/knuckle. After looking at a z32 LCA it appears that they have a tapered "washer" on the ball joint.
Does anyone know how I can remedy this without buying new z32 lcas, and taking the washer/race off? I did find one forum on here saying to use part # 40173-33P00 from the dealer.
Has anyone dealt with this? If you have any experience here please chime in. Thank you in advance.
