Default Del sol ball joint

My question is I bought the ball joints, but were does the snap ring go?

Holy ...

So, if you remove the snap ring, then press the old LBJ out, I'd wager a pretty penny if you press the new LBJ in AND THEN put the snap ring in place, you'd be in good shape.

well the oem ones don't have a snap ring. aftermarket ones do. you'll see the groove that it is supposed to sit in.

Honestly, if the knuckle doesn't have a groove for the snap ring, if it's pressed in properly and torqued properly, no worries IMO
