Any chance you could post a picture of what you're talking about so the uninitiated can learn for future reference? ;)

Neil, the split joint which faces inboard on the swivel hub. The pinch bolt passes through the hub and engages into a notch on the balljoint pin. If open the slot allows debris and corrosion to form making the bolt difficult to remove at a later date. Filling the groove with sealant prevents this occuring.

where the top of the balljoint goes, you then tighten the nut/bolt, and aply the sealent so no water gets in ruining the balljoint

A picture says at least twenty or thirty words, sometimes up to a thousand.
