moog 6124 upper balljoints not fitting into spindle 01 tahoe

[candyman74]

i replaced the upper balljoints on my djm control arms on my 01 tahoe with moog 6124s and when i went to install into spindle the treads were a little larger than the hole. has anyone had this problem? also if you have what did you do to fix it? for now i just put the djm balljoints back in so i could drive it.

If I"m not mistaken I remember seeing somthing that you may have to slightly drill out the spindle. The hole sizes shouldn't be too much of a difference though. I put DJM uppers on but I didn't have that problem. In the end I couldn't use them because they gave me too much positive camber so they are just collecting dust.

ok so i went on djms website and happened to look at the suburban instructions and it say to use a 1/2 drill bit. problem solved
