[QUOTE="Bigrick31, post: 5797343, member: 553354"] I was going to do some today Got myself a little flip mino a while back. But the car broke down yesterday on my way home. On a chevy your upper ball joint has threads on it that bolt to the top of your spindel but ford thought it would be a good idea to make your spindel clamp onto the ball joint similar to how your battery terminal clamps onto the battery post. You ever wiggle and pull your battery terminal off of the post though? same thing can happen to the ball joint. I was driving home and started taking a turn on the highway when my ball joint separates from the spindel allowing my upper control arm to dive right into my tire sending my cars swerving hard into the direction i was turning. luckily i didnt hit anyone it was 1:30 in the morning so there wernt too many people on the road but i limped my car off the highway and parked it. Im waiting for my girl to get home so we can go buy a new ball joint and replace the now dead one. Needless to say It is my mission to adapt an impala spindel to my car so this never happens again.
