Default Ball joint won't reach front LCA

Why won't it reach? They're new control arms but they are same dimensions as old ones.

How can i tell if my axles dislocated? It still turns as doesn't feel messed up.

Good catch! Glad you found the issue! That would've been my guess also!

Yes they are Hardrace! The big Tubular piece. Hey i will post a new thread of it soon because i want to see if y'all think my sway bar is hooked up to it correctly.

also, the way that axle popped out of its inner joint, I popped it back in, but it's been making popping sound when i pull off for a couple weeks now so I gotta replace it.
