Screw in ball joints?

[stephen4785]

I need to replace all the ball joints on my 65. Whats the advantage of screw in ball joints? Should I use them or just use some bolt in, what brand to use, how do you install them(all the ones I found you had to weld in a piece of threaded pipe)?

you have to modify the arms to accept threaded bungs to screw the ball joints into. there is a socket just for changing the ball joints. unless you are going racing, stick with the factory style joints.

Factory joints will do you just fine, even at the track.

We use Moog parts. The upper # is K8036 - lower is K8035 for a '65 - '66 car. I have done the screw in ball joint deal and it's not worth it for a street car. Most of the cars at the track do use a stock type upper and lower arm. The stock parts are plenty strong. If you still want to do it I'll be happy to help. Send me a email [email protected] .
