Hey fellers, trying to rebuild the front of my '69 440 6 pack stupid bee, I ordered Moog control arm bushings K408. The bushings are 1.25 dia on the small end but the hole in the control arm is only 1.57 ish. What do I have wrong here, wrong parts in the box or my uppers were swapped along the way? Anybody know the number for the bushing I do need? Ball joint screwed in, I'm confused, wouldn't an a arm from a lower level 318 car use a smaller ball joint?
Thank guys.
I can't afford this.

Thank you for that, the bushings I pressed out are 1.17 Perhaps the Moog boxes I received simply have the wrong parts in them, like c body or truck bushings. Anyone have an opinion on the repop a arms?

Anyone have an opinion on the repop a arms? I installed a set, went right on. They are made of thinner gauge material, I don’t think I would use them in autocross or something similar. Drag car or normal street use I think they should be fine.

Cool, thanks for the tip. I figured they were thinner, I'll leave them as a last resort.
