This is probably a silly question but..

I'm installing new Moog balljoints on my car, and I'm not sure if the rubber seal is supposed to go onto the balljoint before or after it's pressed into the control arm. The instructions aren't super clear on this, but make it seem like it goes on after? Can anyone clarify?

I did make the unfortunate mistake of pressing one of the joints in already, sans seal. If I do have to put the seal on first before pressing it in, will pressing the joint back out for the seal ruin it?

The boot goes on after the ball joint is pressed into the control arm. Get a piece of PVC pipe that fits the outside lip and use the ball joint press or a deadblow hammer, because it's a VERY tight fit.

Super tight and there is a spot where the grease comes out on the bushing, make sure when installing the bushing face this opening away from your brake caliper.

Yeah I got that. Thanks for the clarification guys. I think I have some pipe that fits, so I'll give it a shot tonight.
