Ball joint - HELP!!

Help!
I'm replacing the ball joint on my 93 9000 CDE. I have the old one off,
and I'm fitting the new one, ordered from eEuroparts. The problem is that
they don't look quite the same!
The new one is shorter, and doesn't have the groove for the lock ring at the top, and actually the spindle doesn't even stick up above the steering swivel member. It's just about flush.
I double checked the site, and thesaabsite.com, and they agree on the part
number (which is different that what my Quick Ref Parts Catalog says, BTW).
The picture of the part on eEuroparts.com looks like the old part, not the one I got (spindle a bit taller, and has the groove for the lock ring on
it). The part number on the box agrees with what I ordered (8972135, says
Saab on it).
Has anyone used the ball joint from eEuroparts before? Did it look the same
as the old one?
Any help at all would be appreciated. Right now, I'm not sure whether to
reassemble it or not!
Thanks,
mike
