67 firebird
I went to install my afco low friction ball joints on my 67 firebird and I found one easily fits by hand. Using the search function shows that people seem to tac weld the ball joints to the lower control arm. One side is pressed in, but not to confident that the fit is tight.
The options i thought of before i started reading were:
-welding material to the ID of the control arm
-using shim stock to make the press fit tighter
-replace both with moog problem solvers.
What is the deal with ball joint straps, anyone have pics?
What is the risk of damaging these afco ball joints if i tac them in?
