Re: Control arm rebuild ??
I've heard the lower problem solver ball joints are for A-arms that no longer have an interference fit. I tried to press in ball joints on a G-body and I think they were problem solvers. If you can go for a while without the truck, take the lower A-arms to a machine shop and have them tell you which ones you need and have them press them in. Much easier and cost about the same $10 each vs. $20 to replace my broken, cheap 1/2" ratchet.

Re: Control arm rebuild ??
I can tell you the problem solvers are oversized and a chore to install. That was the only option I found for the nova sub I installed in my 49. I ended up taking my control arms to an alignment shop to have the ball joints installed. They even had a heck of a time using a heavy duty ball joint press and a big hammer to keep the ball joint going in straight. Guy told me that was the biggest problem people run into is not keeping them straight while pressing them in.
