It's the flats for the wrench that I was trying to express in my crude drawing...

These new production ball joints had no notch, or mark of any sort. Nor did they 
have zerk fittings, which I find annoying..

Yeah, all my stated figures were in degrees.

What adverse affects would occur if I happened to install these ball joints out of 
whack (no notch forward). Would this affect my geometery? I suppose it's getting 
close to trial & error at this point... *groan*   ;~)
