Tire rubbing ball joint grease fitting, rim rubbing upper control arm

I have enclosed a picture of two upper control arms, side by side.
One has a "normal" ball joint installed, and the other has a "taller" one.
Hope you can see the differences in the picture.
Might help you out with your problem. Good luck.

Looking @ your pics, the ball joint on the right is welded in and not threaded like the original ones.

To the OP, maybe remove the zert and plug the hole.
