2002 Xterra Lower Ball Joint

Hi,

so bit of a cluster ufck situation. I bought a set of lower ball joints from the local auto parts store. Got the drivers side lower ball joint out and looked at the two that I received from the parts store. Matched what came out and put that one in. Went to return the other one to the store the next day and get the same as the new one that went in. Except I realized that the one that I was returning should have been in the vehicle. The one that went in is the same size, fits the same etc but is slightly different style then the other one.

I have hunted around and tried to figure out exactly what the part number is for that LBJ so I can put the same one in on the other side but I am having no luck. Hopefully that has made sense to anyone reading this.

Does anyone have a picture of their lower ball joint from a 2002 xterra (Out of vehicle) or know of any alternate product codes that are NOT K85091? What about can you run a ball joint on one side that is about 1/4inch higher then the other?

Thanks!

are you saying that the 1/2 balljoints you received from the store was incorrect? Why not just have them order you another one?

Thats probably easier than trying to match a pic to a part.

Different style but still fit. So im assuming correct.
If they ordered me another of the other one id have to pay to have someone replace it again which would be super expensive
