Ball joint question?
#1
I had my a-arms & swingarm powdercoated and when I was putting my ball joints back in I noticed they went in alot easier than they came out. When I got it all back together I noticed that the upper right ball joint was moving when I turned the wheels. I remember there being some dried green colored liquid on the ball joints when I took them apart. Is that some kind of ball joint glue or something? And if so what is it called and where do I get it?

There is no torque where the ball joint goes into the arm. I looked for green thread lock and can't find it. My friend thinks it's the green threadlock that they use on roller coasters. Just want to be sure.

Oh Yeah, I can picture them now.
I would be a littel careful with threadlocker, it can wreak havoc on rubber.
Did you re use the clips? Possily they got bent a little?
I would imagine that the ball joint spinning a little is no biggie. As long as the clip is in, it can't drop or lift out.
You might just have a thinner grease in them now too.
