I am doing the s10 disc brake conversion.The bushings and lower ball joints have been intalled.The problem is the upper balljoint.The
bolt/rivet holes line up,but there is a small gap (1/16)between the balljoint and the top of the arm.The bottom of the ball joint has a slight curve where it meets the arm hole.The guy that is doing this for me radiused one arm hole and it fit better,but he didn't want to do much without asking me.Has anyone else run into this problem and what did you do? Thanks |

i've not done this conversion but it sounds like your installer is on the right track. i wouldn't remove much material. if you take too much out it'll weaken the control arm. mike

Blue,
You might try emailing 'Ol pinion head. These conversions are old hat to him & he's putting together a changeover kit for my '66. I wasn't of the opinion you had to change control arms too during the conversion. Wonder why your having this problem? Roger - you out there? Maybe you can bail the man out here so I can learn from his struggles. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] |

Goatseeker,I am doing a s10 disc brake set up.You
have to use the s10 upper and lower balljoints.I already told the guy to go ahead and open upen up the hole just enough to fit the balljoint.I just wondered if this was normal.The bolt holes line up so I don't think it will be a problem.Thanks Eric |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
