Yep thanks !, like it here. Great climate, still have seasonal changes, really nice summers, and winter is not brutal.
How about a machinist's jack?

or even a couple long bolts and coupler nuts to match?

Gets bolts long enough that when you partially thread the nut off the end that it just fills the gap.
The bolts are thin enough you could use more than one.

Ok, I see what you mean. So the tube would sit in between the lower balljoint and the upper balljoint. And by it being adjustable I can squeeze it in between the socket over the lower balljoint and the underside of the top of the knuckle. The upper balljoint presses in flush.
Great idea ! Now I need to find the parts. I think I can do it.
Many thanks from a shop press rookie !
Randy is right on with this one. A piece of threaded pipe (slightly long) and one coupler would work great. Thread the pieces together, mark the pipe and cut to the desired length (so it barely fits). You could then unthread the coupler ever so slightly to get a tight fit.
If all else fails, you can go to Autozone or Advance and rent the special tool that's designed to do the job (see photo below).
Good luck!

Thanks Jake, we won't mention the other times.
