    I have the same lower arm modification that you do. I used some hardened washers so that the cotter pin would go through the castelated nut. I have over 7000 miles on it since I installed them and I have not had any issues with grease leaking out or otherwise loosening of the joint.

    After talking to CPP, they are sending me the cone sleeve/bushings for my Ball joints. I'll follow up with the outcome.

    Cpp sent me the adapter. It is a tapered cone sleeve. They didn't charge me but did want to refer to the invoice when I purchased the kit. Need some warm weather to install. It was labeled on their invoice as Granada lbj to mopar adapter so that may help someone in finding something similar.
