Defect Summary

Ball joints may contain a 35/64 inch thick castellated nut instead of the correct 23/32 inch thick nut. Due to the incorrect size, the nut may loosen until it comes into contact with the cotter pin. Corresponding loosening of the tapered ball stud could lead to fracture of the ball joint stud.
