Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so, how to overcome? I could turn the ball joint over so the nipple is on the inside but I think that would get in the way when I put the motor in. Please Help.
Can you post a picture, I am having a hard time seeing in my head where the nipple would be rubbing on either the engine or the engine bay.
