[V8] Ball joint discussion...

[Korn, Bob]

Scott,
Just to be clear, I was the one that bestowed the title of the "other V8 guru" upon Ron as I had mistakenly addressed an email to Ron, not Keith, who I had bestowed the title "V8 guru" originally.   Neither of these gentleman have self-proclaimed themselves as "V8 Guru's".
Now, back to the pissing match.....................

 Let me repeat this slowly:  Measure-the-ball-joints-before-you-attempt-to-install-the-wrong-ones.  I'm no v8 guru, and IME, the thought of making some sort of FAQ regarding ball joints on v8's could prove dangerous.  I'm not sure the urgency to 'prove' anything, beyond one's ability to make a really basic mistake, that luckily, didn't cost a life.  I can't share this BTDT, because I don't claim to be a guru, only claim to have seen a myriad of v8 applications that stress the importance of using a set of calipers on ball joints.  Months ago, and again in this thread, I will stress the importance of KNOWING there are 18 and 19mm ball joints that will 'fit' v8 and '91 200 uprights.  And I'll point directly to a guy that didn't take the 20 seconds to understand the difference.

What do you want to prove?  That there aren't 18 and 19mm ball joints, that can be installed incorrectly by mistake?  You already proved that.  Here's hoping this forum learns something from such a basic mistake.

What's the ball joint on the 5ktq's and 200 10vtq's.......17mm?
Then u say there is a 18mm ball joint for UFO housings. Do u have anything to support that statement Scott? 
Then u say there are 19mm ball joints for //scars......is this correct?

 Just trying to clear up some confusion I have. Cause the numbers that have been 

given to me for the UFO housings are the 19mm ball joints from the //scars.
