    Is the top ball joint installed backwards?

    Sure looks like it after looking at the suspension touching thread for a week.

    Yeah, and there is something on your swaybar bushing, gotta hurt performance due to increased friction if nothing else.

    But seriously, the top balljoint looks like it is installed backward. They are not omni directional, there is a right way and a backward way. In Gino's top pic (Post # 1) you can see that the balljoint itself is not perpendicular to the A arm, but in Gino's 2nd pic (Post # 7) you can see that it is perpendicular. I'm just trying to save a few weeks and lots of posts on trying to fix the suspension.

    That’s pretty scary that your mechanic needed an on line forum to get your suspension right...I still wouldn’t drive or pay for his work until someone who knows what they are doing does a quality check on all of it.

    over the last year this guy has been working on my car he rebuilt the AC system other than the fabrication of the new hoses and fittings he replaced the water pump motor mounts replaced starter motor and did the cam belt tensioner / bearing service along with the gas tank fuel sending unit and all the interior parts replacement including the diverter motors as far as I know this is the only issue i have had with him people do make mistakes and as far as Ferraris go many make more mistakes and are criminal in the over hour charges they bill for Ferrari mechanics are as bad as lawyers we all know its a license to steal you should hear the story of my friends multi platinum 308 4 VAlve 1985 and what Ferrari of torrance california did to his car so taking it to someone who suppose to know what they are doing doesnt really mean anything much these days We must depend on ourselves and also forums like this to help us along in keeping our Ferraris in good health also most Ferrari mechanics have an attitude that they are doing you a favor instead of being grateful that they getting your business pretty disgusting i have 20 years of ownership and have seen many shops that are douch bag as u people say at some times

    Thank u
