Ball Joints

Okay guy this might be a stupid question but can you use the upper and lower ball joints for 67-70 on a 71 with disc brakes? I know that the control arms are the same but what is the differance in ball joints? I have found a set of all four on ebay for 67-70 and they are less than $50.

Re: Ball Joints

The 67-70 ball joints will not fit the 71-72 spindles. 71-72 ball joints only fit 71-72 spindles.

Re: Ball Joints

Ball joints is NOT a place to go "Discount". They are a job to put it and or take out.... and you don't want budget ball joints IMO. Buy quality MOOG or TRW. Do it once and they will last a LONG time!
