Vega upper BJ

Postby 1100kaw2 » Tue Feb 25, 2014 8:33 am

OK, Tore into vega to do S10 BJ conversion. Already have have Gumm adaptors but camber too far out, so I was going All S10.
My question is, Do the original Vega uppers seem to fail in a V8 conversion?
My uppers are tight as new(22k orig mile car). At this point do you think I should go ahead and do all, or just the lowers to get camber back?
Feed back?
Thanks Darrell

The Vega upper ball joints are the same used in all h-body cars including V8, V6 and 4 cylinders.

My car had a V8 in it for over 20 years before I changed to the S-10 ball joints. Not a concern with normal driving. If it's a drag car wheelieing often, that may be different.
