'64 GP lower ball joints
 
Working on a '64 GP. Having a hard time finding lower ball joints that fit the 1 1/2" hole in the lower arm. All have the ones for 1 13/16" hole. Anyone else run into this? Know who has them?
:noidea:

1959-1964 should be the same.

Depends when in 1964 the vehicle was built. My ‘64 Catalina was assembled in March, 1964. It uses the same lower ball joints as a ‘65.

I have never run into that!

I know. It’s an oddball but ‘63/early ‘64 seems to be a change over period in front suspension parts.

I never ran into that either. Look on e-Bay for some NOS Moog ball joints..

Are the lower ball joints on your '64 press fit? I don't see why the size of the hole in the lower A-arm would make a difference. I have a '64 GP built in December of '63 and the ball joints are attached to the lower A-arm by three small nuts and bolts each. Is that how the '65s are? I ordered my ball joints (uppers and lowers) a few years ago and got MOOG replacements. I don't remember having a problem finding them.

1959-1970 B Body Pontiac lower ball joints are not pressed in.
