S-10 ball joint sleeves

Postby cosvega76 » Wed Aug 16, 2006 6:57 am

I found that my lower ball joints are bad again, probably from spot-welding them in because the press-fit is gone in the lower control arms. I am considering installing S-10 lower ball joints, but can't find the name of the manufacturer of the weld-in sleeves. I thought it was KB Machine or MB machine. Does anyone know?

Here's a link to my modification page for the s10 LBJs. Not the greatest solution but it worked for me. Good enough I suppose. My point is I wish I had just bought these sleeves! But hey I saved a whopping $15. Geez.
