Larry, They should all screw in and Yes, you do need a special socket to remove them. Try your local auto parts house. They may have one you can rent/borrow/beg/or steal. Order the lowers from 'em and they will pobably let you use it. It's miller tool #3561 Also takes a special tool to remove the spindle/steering knucle fron the A arms. C-3564 miller tool All of which is documented/covered in the FSM for '58 OEM numbers are: 1843-246 upper same as Moog #K-714 1843-248 lower same as Moog #K-713 Dave Schwandt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Jabin" <larry@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 03, 2012 10:14 AM Subject: [Chrysler300] 1958 300D BALL JOINTS ??? >I bought new upper & lower ball joints they came in a front end rebuild kit >from ESPO Springs > > The uppers have threads so they can be screwed into the upper control arms > > The lowers do not have threads is this correct? > > Also is there a special socket or tool to remove & install the upper ball > joint? if so where could I get one? > > Thanks > > Larry Jabin > > > Larry@xxxxxxxxxx<mailto:Larry@xxxxxxxxxx> > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > ------------------------------------ > > To send a message to this group, send an email to: > Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or > go to http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Chrysler300/join and select the > "Leave Group" button > > For list server instructions, go to > http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm > > For archives go to > http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylangYahoo!
