    Bad Lower Ball Joint out of the box?

    I believe they are TRW NOS (bought from Craig and not bashing him at all - he didn't manufacture them). I think I'll buy another and see how it feels. I need to put in an order for drums anyway to keep my brakes from getting dusty. My guess is they are fine, just at the ends of the tolerance -...

    Bad Lower Ball Joint out of the box?

    I think that's where KernDog was going as well. As soon as I wrote that I knew where it would end up! It's supposed to be stiff in the box and loose out of the box :)

    Bad Lower Ball Joint out of the box?

    Thanks - maybe I'm just being paranoid. I'd rather replace now and keep this one as a spare if they are usually stiff out of the box like the other

    Bad Lower Ball Joint out of the box?

    I have not greased either yet I'm trying to determine play. It just feels loose - moves easily vs the other. Just collecting opinions.

    Bad Lower Ball Joint out of the box?

    I've been assembling the front suspension on the K-frame. I attached the lower ball joints (both new sourced from the same place) - one feels stiff and the drum stays vertical. The other side feels loose and the drum flops out. What say the experts - is the "loose" one bad out of the box...

    Alan's 1970 Charger Restoration

    About a month ago, the shop doing my metal/body work called me and said that the leaf springs on the car were not the same (the 2 were reportedly different lengths). They were trying to check the final fit before welding the rear frame rails, so I sourced 2 used ones based on the manual (1970...

    Alan's 1970 Charger Restoration

    Slow progress as they weld everything together. I do want it to be strong/stable, so I'm glad they're taking their time.

    Does anyone use David Wise's Master Restoration and Judging Reference Manual (questions/issues)?

    I bought it about a year ago and have been relying on it for finish info, part numbers, finding date codes, etc. It seems like a good reference overall; however, I ran into an issue and wondering what other people have found. About a month ago, the shop doing my metal/body work called me and...

    UCA Identification - not quite right.

    The socket is the same for both. As I was looking around, I saw Classic Industries sells an OER one that requires their special ball joint (K772C); however, they say it's 1.238 at the threads, which is significantly smaller (.6 inch). I'm not sure how that's right or big enough, but that's not...

    I'm looking for a pair of UCAs for a 70 Charger. I don't need the bushings/balljoints, just the original frames in good condition. Thanks Ross

    UCA Identification - not quite right.

    Thanks - will check socket size and measure the female side in the UCA for additional info. Everything else looks identical.

    UCA Identification - not quite right.

    Ok, so the UCAs were rusted out on my car. I bought a used set off fleabay, disassembled, blasted, painted (closer to natural) pressed in eccentric bushings (based on other posts) and thought all was good. I went to install the ball joint - bought plenty as part of the crazy low prices on...
