Title: lower ball joints Post by: mantagtj1981 on October 06, 2019, 06:25:07 PM heres a interesting subject ive got a 77 beta coupe the lower ball joints was just doing today in the restoration and noticed that the two i got from fleabay are wrong, almost same but one holes out and the thread is too large .
dont buy fbj5068 listed by so many ebayers , fiat on box unless lancia beta changed size of the ball joints on later years? Title: Re: lower ball joints Post by: peteracs on October 06, 2019, 11:20:10 PM Hi
I too bought a ball joint which although it fits the lower woishbone ok, the length of the threaded section was too long and fouled on the driveshaft. Solution for me was to reduce the length of the threaded section.
