It doesn't "snap" over the ball always. Sometimes it just sits on it. If you can tighten the allen bot on the keeper it will either seat or is seated.

They are normally loose, but I do not know ho wloose yours is so I can't say. They should have very little side to side and should only easily pivot.

mike was right..... it was on. i had a false sense of how tight it should be....
i guess thats what that retainer thing is for.... it is just a pivot... matt... i got plenty for ya... but you usually dont require much... |

GET A NEW BALL CUP!!! i don't care how good it looks. unless the clip is like superduper new get one of those too. and like mikes says, it doesn't pop on like swaybar and shift cup bushings.
