Ball Joint pivot point?

[911st]

I am trying to figure out where the center of the pivot is on a front ball joint.

Dose anyone have a picture of one without the rubber boot on it or a broken one?

Or, is it the center if the cross on this: http://www.elephantracing.com/images/balljoint/balljointcenterline.gif

It looks a bit hight to me.

Thank you if you can help.

Move the ball joint all the way to one side and take another picture. Then draw a new line down the center of the pin axis. Lay this drawing over your origional. Where the two pin axis lines intersect is the ball center. Hope this helps. paul.

Thank you Paul.

Unfortunatly the only two ball joints I own are kind of hard to get to.
