Re: [Chrysler300] Front Shocks Install - '65 Chryslers

["Bob Haag" <Scooter465@xxxxxxx>]

If you are installing gas shocks they have to be compressed to fit between
the lower control arm and hole in frame.You would never have to break the
lower ball joint loose.Just have to get the right angle and have car jacked
so wheel is off the ground.
