disc brake conversion on 68' - ball joint question
I'm doing a frame off on my 68' which already had the front disc brake conversion. Without thinking I put new 68' ball joints in my control arms. Now I'm having trouble getting the ball joints in the spindles. The old spindles where 72' and I'm now using ECE dropped spindles. I just ruined a low ball joint while trying to tighten the bolt. The bolt stripped. Seems like the ball joint is too big for the spindle. Should I have gone with 72' ball joints? Does anyone know if they are smaller than the 68'?
This frontend rebuild has been a complete nightmare. Way harder than I thought it would be!
