History mustang 2 lower ball joint problem....

Have a 33 plymouth someone else started ...crossmember too high so i installed 2 inch drop spindle..this put the lower ball joint into the 14 inch rim ..cant change rims.....the lower a arm are the stamped steel..with the rear arm ...iam wondering what my options are.....i think a tubular lower with a pressed in ball joint would work but before i do this i would like to know if anyone makes a shorter joint......help...

 

Your only choices are:

A a larger wheel diameter

B stock spindles

 

Or space the wheels out

 

I've seen this scenario before. Go back now and fix the original problem. Relocate the crossmember to where it should be. Anything else you do is just a bandaid. You will be glad you did.

 

32viper is 100 percent correct... I had to modify the crossmember on a 48 truck.......get it setup right to start or you will regert it as long as you own the car....

 

Put an axle back under it and be Happy

 

I had the same problem on my 50...I bought fatman drop spindles and i have stock rotors and calipers for MII with 14 rims. my ball joints rubbed the lip of the rim. $20 fix went to the part store and ordered wheel spacers. Reason being had just bought 14 Goodyear Diamond Wall White Walls
