    Stubborn upper ball joint

    The pic seems to show the nut removed from the stud. If this is the case and the stud "pops" out, the release of energy could be damaging. I would suggest you thread the nut about half way on the stud to prevent trouble. Just a thought. Since the boot is already damaged, I would agree that the...

    So, now, what warranty does RA offer, and will they honor it? I will be interested to know how this turns out. Lindsay

    Want to wake up my 73 Newport Custom

    As Big_John suggested, I would agree that a swap to an 8-3/4 rear end would be a plus. I'm running 235-60/14's and a 3.23 rear. This suits me fine with good highway revs. Since you are running 235-55/17's, and you say you do very little highway driving, you mighe like 3.55 gears. This is only a...
