Title: Lower ball joints. / lugnuts
Post by: Evolution69 on October 03, 2020, 03:50:26 AM
Hi guys

What have you guys used when getting new ball joints?

Is MOOG the company of choice?  I doubt im going to find a NOS in the box,  so your reconditions would be greatful

All i tried mounting my mag slots the other day and the original studs/lugs are way to short,  what have you replaced your lugs with?

Thanks kindly

Are you keeping the drum brakes up front? When I replace my drum brakes with disc brakes, the rotors came with new studs. No help there.

Your Studs, if original, should be fine. Are you using these type? for slots they go INSIDE the wheel not on top like an "Acron" nut
