Hi there,

I just compared my 1968 mustang conv. lower control arm ball joint with my
spare parts car which is a 1967 coupe and they measure and look identicle (3
rivet bolt pattern). Both are are rivited onto the lower control arm assmbly
which would have to be grinded out in order to bolt on a replacement ball
joint.

However all the parts catlogs seem to only specify a replacement lower ball
joint for the 68-71 mustang but for models prior to 68 one would have to buy
the complete lower control arm assembly. What is the difference that i'm not
seeing?

Also which other car (make and model) take the same lower control arm ball
joint as my 68 convertible which I could use as a substitute?
