In the middle of replacing the front-end suspension on a '70 charger. Choose Pro-Forged to order the upper ball joints. When they arrived, I took them out to inspect and test fit them. I had read good reviews about these ball joints, on site here, and also bad reviews about Moog replacements. Well, unfortunately, these items would not even fit into the opening as they didn't taper the bottom end of the ball joints. They were the right part #, probably wrong parts in the right box. Returned them and got refunded. Next, ordered thru Napa the more expensive one of the only 2 they offered for '70 Charger. Both selections were made by Dorman. Inspected it at the store and it visually passed inspection, BUT, when fitted to UCA it started out good, but it would not screw in all the way. The last 2 threads would not go all the way in. The original would screw in perfectly and bottom out. Returned and got refund. Finally, ordered ACDELCO and they fit perfectly. Patience, patience, patience.
