Again I take no responsibility for damage or injury and this is why. This is the lower contoll arm full of rust that was at the bootom of the spring.

Thanks Art ,
there were a lot of questions re this . No doubt there is a lot of info in the pics I supplied . But the most important you did pic up on leave the nut on while separating the ball joint from the spindle for safety. there are a couple of other safety things in place also like another floor jack at the ft of the car and the tire under the car along with the jack stand under the car !!!!
If your lower-ball joint is fine and you do not plan to replace. the fork is not the way to go the double hammer treatment will separate the joint from the spindle . Just be sure the is a jack under the lower control arm for your safety as a catchit if the nut don't hold.
The install is a little harder as the spring going in also needs persuasion and indexing but once in the pocket just tie the lower control arm back as far as you can and index the spring and rubber . Then jack it up until the lower ball joint is close make sure they line up and jack some more put the nut on . Ect
Ishiftem .
No dis intended : but I did this on a 80 spider last month no eng trans, sway bar drag link pitman arm , tier rods , fenders and the car did not lift of of the jack stand. Would love to here about your problems re this .
