Difference between 10mm and 12mm ball joints



  Clio 172 Cup
Hi Guys,

Just replaced the ball joint on LHS of car, took the old one off took it to local motor factors and we measured up the holes which was 10mm, so got one off them fitted it, it's alot better than it was but still some knocking on that side slightly.

I've just been under the car to measure the size of the other bolts on drivers side and there 12mm, you can actually tell by just looking at each side that the new one i've put on has the smaller bolt sizes.

Question is will this still be causing the knocking noise? Don't get any noises from the drivers side, can i just drill the ball join holes to 12mm and get some new bolts and locking nuts and jobs a good en?

Thanks
