Need measurement on ball joint ?

Post by Tom @ Snake River »

Anyone have their steering torn apart at the moment ?? I need the measurement on the ball joints on the pitman arm or front crank. Just need to make sure that they are 1".
Thanks, Tom

Mine is apart at the moment and all cleaned up. Will measure tomorrow if I get a chance and be in touch. Rick

Tom, I measured the ones on a NOS steering arm p/n 7374765 and they are @1.220" in diameter, just shy of 1-1/4". :)

I have my 46 WDX torn apart and the balls are 1".
Good to know, I was looking to have some ball joint studs made so that the origional pitman arm could be used on the reverse rotation boxes.
Once in a while, someone will have trouble with the WC or M37 pitman arm fitting onto the splines.
