Problem with Rotating Bolt

[DiEseL86]

So, I have finally removed my axles off of my car, and I was trying to put back my suspension, and I ran into a problem. This bolt ( shown below in the picture ) is rotating when i try to tighten the nut that was previously on it. The other side does not do that and the other end of the bolt is covered with that rubber thing. Has anyone encountered this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Suspension is not my specialty. Thanks in advance!

it's a ball joint.. it's tapered fit..
try using a jack and lift the lower control arm so the ball joint kinda gets stuck in the lower control arm..
if that doesn't work
use a chaser kit and clean the thread of the bolt and the castle nut.

Yeah just install a new ball joint. Chances are it could be getting lose anyway. Remember to get an alligment when your all done.

Even I find your post over the top......

I'm sure half the shops around down would do about the same quality of work that he can do. There's no point hounding someone who wants to learn how to fix their own vehicle.
