Got a new one there and am actually able to push it in with my hand. Have a video ill upload here. what holds these in?

Have you tried tightening the nut onto it? Surely once you tighten the nut it can't go anywhere.

*Edit* I'm wrong lol! Just looked at it properly!

 

[dddrrift]

surely pressed in?

You need a new suspension arm. They should be a press fit into the arm. Assuming the balljoint is the correct size of course.

Yeah just found out i need an arm. looks like mine is wore from the old ball joint. Apparently they arent supposed to sell the ball joints on their own any more.
