Ball Joint Rebuilding?

Post by itsa68 »

While going thru some classic and antique car forums, I found a that this manufacturer was always mentioned.
http://www.rareparts.com/partslist.html
Has anyone had their ball joints rebuilt by this suspension parts manufacturer/supplier?
They claim that if they don't stock it, they will build it.

At the current price of ball joints, and the NLA possibility in the future , it might be recommended to hold on to those old ball joint cores if its feasible to have them re-furbished.

Anyone?????

This has been approached before and they were unable to help either with rebuilding or manufacturing. But hey-it never hurts to ask again. It could have been someone having a bad hair day the first time around. Good luck!
