Default Skunk2 front upper A arm replacement

Can anyone offer some tips/suggestions on installing the Skunk2 front upper A arm on a 2K Si?

Helms shows the proceedure to remove the arm but there's no mentinon on how to re-install it. My main concern is how to get the ball joint back into the knuckle.

Thanks...

When youre putting the ball joint back through the knuckle, you should have enough threads to start it. Lube up the ball joint, and then just tighten the nut down and it'll draw the ball joint through the knuckle...

Any suggestions on what type of grease to use? Would normal wheel bearing grease work?

That's typically what I use... just a real light coating is all you need...

Camber is adjustable +/- 4 degrees. I hear you can get + 5 deg. of caster by using the right arm on the left side and vice-versa.
