Volare Upper Balljoint

Hi Guys
Would anyone know the correct upper balljoint socket size for the Volare front end, - M body style, I'm using a Chrysler front clip in my 56, but pretty sure there the same size, I'm looking to buy a socket for removal and install, and not home to measure them.


Thanks

The socket that I use is a Herbrand BJS670 which is no longer available...that said, a quick search on the internet turned up MANY vendors for a MOPAR ball joint socket. To your original question, my socket measures 1-7/8 inch.

mopar uses 3 different size sockets for there ball joints you may want to buy the ball joint first then try and borrow a socket as they are only used for the ball joints not a normal socket

I live in Winnipeg, and have the socket you need. I could lend it to you. Where in Manitoba do you live?
