I put on a bunch of new suspension components on my CRV today, and I absolutely cannot press this ball joint in any further to get the snap ring groove exposed. As stated, the stock ball joint was only pressed, and didn't have a snap ring. I pressed it in with a ball joint press and an air supplied IR impact. Could this ball joint fit another application that calls for a snap ring and mine does not?
 
are you sure the ball joints are for your model/year?

When I worked at Htyundai, they could order 2 types of ball joints, 1 fitted, 1 didn't
 
What year is this, awd or rwd? This may help, it seems they did away with it.

Excellent. This is why I am on BITOG! I'm trying to get things buttoned up before dark and didn't have time to search. Thanks so much
