Lower Balljoints 78 c-15
Heavy Half= 7 leafs+1 big helper and heavier front coils. After axle flip and remove 2 leafs the other day headlights were aiming at the moon. Cant affore drop spindles yet but wanted to do something w front so I cut 2 coils. 1 too many. Cambered BAD. So now $25 stock 1/2t coils from junkyard and will cut 1 coil and order drops soon as I can. Make short story long..I ruined one lower bj with pickle fork, both were completely gone anyway, so ordered Duralast $34.95 lowers from Autozone. Moog better rep? TRW better rep? yes but HAD to go cheap to get it back on road safe. Details say 'oversized'?, what does that mean?

Re: Lower Balljoints 78 c-15
"Oversized" refers to the diameter of the base where it is pressed into the lower A-arm. This is only for arms that have had the joints pressed out/in several times, making them fit "loose" or if someone pressed one in crooked and stretched the hole.
I wouldn't use them, unless they are required.
