Just attempted to replace the lower drivers side ball joint. Got a replacement online, part number was K783, which is what Classic Industries and the auto parts store say is correct. After breaking the old one free...no fun job..I put the new one in, but the arm that connects to the tie rod end does not have the correct curvature to clear the brake drum. Looking at the original ball joint, its stamped with 22-4002. I could not find this casting/part number anywhere! Any ideas? Do I have a different control arm/ball joint from a different model? Car was supposed to go to a car show on Saturday...now its sitting on jack stands.... Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!
