RE: [Chrysler300] 1958 300D BALL JOINTS ???

Some after market lower ball joints are meant to press into the the treaded
lower "A" arm. It works fine. I would be cautious if the ball joints are
made in China. Napa offers the low end China variety and a up graded version
that will last the life of the car. Can't say that about the other.

  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
