Ball joint gap???
 
We are redoing my son's 1986 K5 suspension. Normally I would take pictures before I take things apart, but I thought it was straight forward. We replaced all of the ball joints, but ended up with a large gap on the uppers. I don't remember if there was a gap with the old ones. Does this look correct? The replacement ball joints look the same...

Will the hubs still line up with the axle tube?
