Running C10 Lower Control Arms With C20 Spindles

So I screwed up and misread that I could swap ball joints and run c10 lower control arms on a c20. Got the c10 joints pressed out and they c20s are nowhere close to fitting. Not sure how I didnt noticed that before I pressed them out

Is there a ball joint that has the c10 cup size and c20 shaft size? Or a sleeve I can run to make a c10 joint work? Or am I SOL and need to look for some c20 arms?

I am not aware of any replacement ball joint that will work.... a set of C20 arms are in your future.

Re: Running C10 Lower Control Arms With C20 Spindles

I was going to call you on my lunch break today. What do you think about cutting the smaller cups off and welding a c20 cup on? The arms are cpp's and it looks like it could be done with a little jigging

It could be done. Not something that we would do here, but we could definitely sell you a couple of the ball joint cups we use if you are wanting to tackle it yourself.
