I am an expert on this (not by choice). If one side of the hole is bigger, then you have the later style strut that uses the ball joint with a wedge cut out of it and a pin with no protruding head when installed. If your holes are the same on both sides of the strut, then you need the ball joints with the dish cut out of them and a big bolt/nut. Simple as that. You can not mix and match so don't as I don't want you to die. If you can upgrade to the later style that would be noce as they did come in 3" caliper spacing for around the '73 year. I had one of each on two different cars. Both sides were different and the lefts and rights on both cars were the same so I had two incomplete sets. (until I stole a side from James).

That is what I got, so my resolve for now will be to put the tapered bolt in the one side and the M10X30 bolt in the other side. Until I can find me a nice set that matches with the 3.5" spacing. I want to run bigger brakes eventually so I will just wait till I find a set. I just wont do any AX's till I swap it out.

Yeah, got to bed around 12:30. Thanks to Aaron for coming out and lending a hand and Slits for the board and phone assistance. I just got up and came out here to the garage. I am going to switch the front ball joint bolts around and double check everything to make sure it's done and then take this thing for a cruise around the block. Its still a little cool out here in the garage so motivation is low right now. But I will drive it today for sure. I need someone to come take the video for me. It will most likely be around noon or so. Any volunteers?

Probably sick from wearing shorts out here last night and the snow yesterday. Keep warm and drink plenty of fluids and take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning. PM me with the story about your trip home.

Scott, just make sure that you match the ball joint to the perspective side. (dont use two from the same year or you will have problems. ) I may have a good old style one left from my problem with them. I'll look for it later. If I have it it is yours.
