Is there a chart anywhere that lists the dimensions of ball joint housings? We are fabbing up some tubular a-arms for my Daytona and need the OD of the housing to see if I can get a sleeve that will work instead of cutting up the stock a-arms.

Thanks!

Thanks Oz, went there first. My ball joints are press in. It's a late model Daytona.

Booooo...

Well, idea #2.

Go to Napa,Autozone,etc and get them to pull a ball joint for your car, and measure it with a caliper on the spot

I have a pair on the way from Rockauto. Vatozone here didn't stock them.

Dang, my ideas just don't do much of anything...

Yep, that's the plan.

I do have a 340 for backup if I don't like the results though.
