I am building a Rail, that I bought as a basket case, and I need the smaller threaded ball joints. What do I order? I'm not sure if there is a Year difference or just a part no# difference. TIA!

Seems to me Chaz, it's the early ones you want with the smaller shaft. I believe I have the larger, later ones.



EFF! I'm thinking about tie rods. "Never mind"! Embarassed

Any idea of what company has good customer service, at least good enough to work with me determining on which Ball joint/tie rod end is the one with the smaller threads that go in the steering arms??
