Control arm ball joint
Ok, now that I beat that Fast ratio gearbox to death, got the new box today, got to get a different rag joint and see how that works.
Ok new issue, seems I have the stock lower mount and God knows what the top mount is, I have the moog upper and lower ball joints to install...………...seems like looking at the top mount......do I have to take that all apart to get that ball joint pressed out. Any get the upper mounts from umi……….at least they have the ball joint already installed. Rich |

Vid link... This "klown" uses a hammer to remove it, and the press to put the new one in. I used the press for both in and out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EBDAgbJjjI

Thanks Squid, I think I can manage that bottom one, was wondering if I could do that with the top ball joint...…...was hoping I didn't have to pull that upper arm out to do it.
Don't even know the brand of upper arm I have, supposed the ball joint was already on when they put in on the car. Worse part, getting new front springs...……..yeah I can see this going south real fast. Rich |

Was wondering if someone could recommend a good upper tubular control arm that you are using on a 66-67...….
Nothing against the stock one...…….im just use to seeing this type. Rich |

The top ball joint bolts in after you grind the rivet heads off the factory ones

Consider getting SPC upper control arms with tall upper ball joints, they're fully adjustable and you can adjust for + camber and caster. Makes a huge difference in handling.
