Re: Great Ball Joint won't stay in lower control arm

I think the balljoint housing seat is smaller in diameter for a '65 lower control arm than the balljoint for a '75 lower control arm. If you're trying to press in a 65 balljoint into a 75 control arm, it will most likely fall out like you're expriencing.
