Does This Look Correct?

My concern is with the grease boot. It seems to fit over the shoulder of the ball joint ok....BUT, the original OEM unit was a one piece deal....so I have no reference. Im not sure if the boot should have gone in when the ball joint was pressed in or if its supposed to be like I have it.

You're OK. Ball joint gets pressed in from the bottom, the boot goes over it, from the top, and the spindle will press and hold the boot in place.

Kinda what I thought and how it seems to fit...just being different from the OEM style I wasn't exactly sure. Thank you for the reassurance that its all good.
