P500 Upper front ball joint removal

[Chooglin]

When removing the front upper ball joint , does it come out from the bottom of the A-arm or the top ?

I looked at the service manual, and it is not clear to me from the text or pictures. The special tools prevent me from seeing which way it is orientated. If you PM me an email address, I can scan the page and send it.

It comes out from the bottom after you remove the snap ring on top

Not yet

when I welded my new shock mounts on , they are over top the ball joint. should I ever need to change it , I was just wondering if the new mount was going to be an issue !
