Ball Joint size?

Anybody happen to know the ball joint size? I've got a u-joint / ball joint tool that goes up to 2.75"x3"

Just wondering if I need an even bigger one.

I'm really hoping this will clean up the 50-65mph shudder that the rotation & alignment didn't fix.

That's bigger than you're going to need. I think the one I used was 1.5"x2".

Thanks alloro. If you are keeping track, you can tell it's going to be a fun few days of maintenance coming up

headers
ball joints
hubs
u-joints

and, the stereo
IN dash Nav/DVD
Passenger Visor Monitor
Headrest Monitors
6.5" components all the way around (MB quart baby!)
new sub box made out of MDF so it doesn't sound like a hollow piece of plastic
100 sq feet of sound mat. (probably end up closer to 200sqft)

At least the engine stuff and brakes have already been done

yay the fun begins.
