    Noticed when I jacked the car up to adjust the front brakes that the passenger side lower balljoint was no longer pressed into the arm and slides up and down with ease. Is there a snap ring that helps hold it in or is it just a press fit?
    What years are the lower control arms interchangeable with?
    Going to have to start searching for at least a passenger side and maybe a pair so I can box them while they are apart.

    Its a press fit. Sounds like you need a new arm. Good thing you caught that

    yeah no doubt. I remember back in high school it always would pull to the right when you hit the brakes and we could never figure it out. My brother went throught the front with all new buchings and upper ball joints and had a shop replace the lower ball joints and it still did it. Apparently that control arm was the reason all along. Know anyone with a passenger lower?
