Question for tubular k and a-arm guys???
hey all......
i've got a couple quick questions i was hoping to get answered, especially by Pro Fab users.
1) does the tubular upper a-arm use a factory upper ball joint?
2) is there anything wrong with reusing the factory upper ball joint with 23,300 miles on it or should it definately be replaced? i know that i would need to drill out the rivets and use bolts and lock nuts in its place.
3) and last, what did you guys use for the k-member bolts since the factory ones are now too long for the tubular one?
thanks,
Dave

2) Should be nothing wrong with it, but hell, you are already there, just replace them and you will not have to worry about them for quite some time.
3) I used my stock K-member bolts. They were the correct size for my tubular K-member.
