I'm replacing the ball joints on my '72 4 cyl. The original BJs had a washer on top, between the BJ and the strut. I ordered a new set from Pelican (901-341-049-00-M69) but it didn't come with any washer, nor is there one listed on their site. If you look at their full catalog then there isn't even a washer shown in the diagram. However, my Haynes manual shows the washer I removed (and damaged upon removal), as item 41 in Fig.7.2.
So, where can I find this washer if it's not listed at Pelican? What if I didn't use it? The ID of the washer that was there just fit snugly around the post of the BJ, so it might be tough to find a non-specific replacement. Thanks, Dave |
