Ok Thanks.. I didn't know that. I thought that the shaft had busted off.. I will order another ball joint. I think I could still just clean up the shaft. Finish drilling out those rivets out. Get a couple of grade 8 bolts and nuts and put it back on??

Did you destroy the grease boot, or just remove it? It is a critical part of the ball joint, holding clean grease in reserve to feed the ball joint as it flexes. If you have or can get a replacement boot, then it seems you should be able to punch out the rivets and re-install the ball joint you have.

This makes sense to me Al. Unless you've done something to really damage this ball joint, it should still work as Roger explained. Originally Posted by slantback37

The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
