I did the swap with Borgeson box and Bergman coupler kit. It's a completely different car to drive now. I recommend getting the kit and the cooler. The few bucks extra will save you major headaches. I used kerndog's thread on this topic as reference.

My rear passenger side rubs under heavy load. Axle pokes out a ¹/⁸" more on that side.

I've just done this swap. Bergman Auto Craft (FBBO Sponsor) makes a coupler that requires no cutting of the shaft. And yes, kerndog's epic thread (link above) on this topic is a great place for reference.

This thread is gold. Here is the old and new in the Satellite. Still needs alignment but drives so much better.

I wonder how the OP went with the original linkages. Problem solved?

Make sure they set the correct height first. They should roll the car back and forth and push down to bounce the suspension on each adjustment. Then recheck height and adjust accordingly until perfect. I went through this a few months ago. I asked them to adjust front height to factory...

Perhaps just take it back to the shop and tell them about the problem after you picked it up, and have them redo it properly.

I just replaced the ball joints on my (March) 1972 Satellite. The upper took the 1-59/64" socket. There was more than 2mm play in the lower ball joints with the left-hand side particularly bad. But of course swapping them out and getting back on the road within a day was just a dream. The...
