I went to get a wheel alignment but they woudn't do it because the ball joint was heaps loose.
ok no drama I think.. but I just went to tighten it, but the threaded piece just spins with the nut as I tighten it!
How do I stop this it is making me MAD  
thanks!

I find if you put a jack under the ball joint and put a bit of pressure on it it stops it spinning. As it is a tapered shape.
