    Ball Joint Machining

    Does anyone have connections to get the old ones machined out? I'd rather not try to find a machine shop that will experiment with my arms. I'm up to 3 SVOs now, one's been mostly parked for 15+ years for ball joints and it's time to get it back on the road. That and I've managed to acquire a couple of pairs of spare arms to get it done on so I can just swap out once the balljoints are replaced.

    What ball joints get used once the old one is machined out?

    Roberto2000 was doing some machining of the ball joints as a side gig. He did mine. I went with the SN95 spindle so I upgraded to the Steeda x2 ball joints.

    Did you use stock svo type Knois?

    The stock Konis won't work. You can use Konis for the SN95 or the 87-93 GT. I ended up using the Adjustable Tokicos for the SN95. If I had to do it over again, I would get the Foxbody Tokicos as they are a little longer and provide more suspension travel.

    I have Eibach Race Springs as it is used mostly for track events.
