Hi:D

Ive just stripped one of my front hubs and managed to remove the ball joints top and bottom and noticed the little spring is missing off the lower balljoint, i have the new ball joints ready to go back on which include the spring but was wondering is it needed and if so why isnt they one on my old one, I think thry are the original ball joints aswell, its a 1985 if that helps.
thankyou.

You definitely need that spring it's to keep the ball compliant with the cup and must be used.
