    Hi everyone guys!

    Do someone know the bolt pattern of a 3bolts 55 chevy upper arm ball joint?

    I wanna build two ball joint spacers and I wanna know the bolt pattern. And the hole diameter.


    Do someone have those spacers and can send me some measurements?

    Thank you!

    There the same bolt pattern as your ball joint. 16329264832967006168739973124766.jpg 16329264521086994093387784414609.jpg

    I wouldn't be surprised if you ran out of camber adjustment with a 2" spacer. The thickest spacer I could use in my 57 Ford is a 1". Anything more and the ball joint would contact the frame when the suspension is at full droop and also ran out of camber adjustment.

    Running a taller front coil spring with the spacers would get your camber back to where it would be drivable. It would also raise the front of the vehicle for that early stocker look, if thats the look you want.
