What LCA did NAPA give me???

[Mike93]

Was going to put the spindle onto the new LCA on the driver side and noticed the shaft on the ball joint was about 1/16" larger in diameter...thus not allowing the spindle to seat fully.

Passenger side went on great...no issues.

Car is a '93 with the 11.6" brake upgrade.

Any idea what I may have gotten???

I'm with Rudedog Mike. Get some pics and/or part numbers up and it'll be easier to tell what you have.

The box had been opened before I purchased it and either someone pulled a fast one on NAPA or it was packaged incorrectly from the get go.

The box part number is 10854, sorry no pics.

The shaft on the ball joint of the incorrect LCA was .05" thicker at the base than at the top. I called NAPA today and they had another LCA in and they measured the shaft and it was a consistent thickness from top to bottom. I will be picking this up after work tonight.
