Default 3dr cosworth tca Help fast

Hello all,

I have a great deal of trouble now. Base car is a 3dr 1.6 shell. I have new parts for the front end. Bilstein b8 shocks and springs, new top mount rubbers, basic sierra tca's.

These are the cosworth hubs I have:



Now I cant get the ball joint in its place! Have used long bar to press the tca down but no luck. Am I doing something wrong here?

Is there a difference in:
Front crossmember where tca's connect?
TCA's basic sierra vs cosworth? In length, ball joint location? Castle nut and pinch, bolt types do know.

I cannot remember off the top of my head which are which but yes, some TCA's do differ with the castle nut and pinch bolt set ups.

If you are using 3dr Cos steering knuckles then really the easiest thing to do is to use everything else from the 3dr Cos and you know it should all fit together with no difficulties.
