Recommended Posts

Hello, I've recently bought a set of Gary Denton a-arms (I believe) when I recieved them I took apart my old setup and realized the ball joints from stock are smaller than the joints on the dentons.. Was I supposed to have aftermarket spindles? Or can i possible purchase a different set of ball joints? maybe another brand Is universal? if anyone can send me there thread specs on there aftermarket a-arm ball joints i can compare also a place of purchase? Thanks guys

Its definitely not one of those things that you want to just get "in the ballpark". There is a writeup on here that shows the PROPER size reamer.

yes "dough bag" I understand this, but I don't know what the taper is so "in the ball park" gives me a clue of where the taper lies before I start. So suckkkkkkitttttttttt

That's what you need.

 

You can find the same one at harbor freight, napa and places like that for cheaper, but you get what you pay for.

 

Use lube and go slow by Hand and DONT use a drill!!! <<<lol. -for real don't use a drill.

 

Don't go to far. But just enough so the threads stick out and the joint snugs down tight.
