Hope it works out. You can see in that Moog pic the edge of the ball joint I was talking about and how that boot should seat down.

I just got carried way on the passenger side, hopefully that tension releases soon. Either that, or the passenger side is a different design.

Pretty sure my Moog Problem Solver ball joints look like the one on the right, no fat rubber boot. If it ever stops snowing here I'll crawl under the big girl to see. Maybe get a pic.

looking at the cutaway on the Moog website it appears you overfilled the boot and inverted it. Unless that was the intention of the design... Were they identical when unpacked?
I searched a bit for some sort of note on their website regarding greasing these with no luck. Will be interested to see what they say.
