Bit hard to see from the photos, but how close is it?
Looks like the grease nipple is closest?
lca balljoint touching wheel
just curious to see some other peoples opinions on wether i should change the ball joints to slim ones that will give me more clearance or just leave these on. The ball joint is really close to the wheel due to the 50mm rcas but its not quite touching. leave them or change them?

Hmm, you could always replace the nipple with a plug, and re fit the nipples for services.
yea i think i may do that. thanks for your help
No worries man
Bash the nipple with a hammer, worked for me
^DONT DO THIS. (good one Ben)
BEST FIX- Get newer balljoints
EASIEST FIX - Do what Joel said
1974 MX22 MARK II CORONA HARDTOP COUPE - Awaiting a full restoration
if u bash the nipple your will ruin the thread.
seriously, you dont have to service them that often... take them out, head down to pirtek or a bolt shop.. get a bung, and put the grease nipples in a zip bag etc and leave them in your tool box.
whats the point is taking out brand new ball joints?
doesn't add up to me. (2 ball joints... 2 bungs..hmm)
Hahaha, yeah just take em out
