() Date: November 15, 2020 06:30PM Does anyone have the old stock Moog# for the non-threaded lower ball joints? (not the adjustable one or TRW) I did a couple searches but came up empty. Or can you confirm if it’s K6039? Thanks Joe Western WI 66 Corsa Convertible VCCA # Re: Moog ball joint part # Posted by:

() Date: November 16, 2020 10:51AM Over the years I've purchased many used / derelict cars. Since 2008, living here in Coos Bay, I takeall but the Corvairs to the local Walmart for the normal "oil / filter / lube service". I get the car back with a sheet showing what "Lube points" would not take grease. Back home on my rack. I find the white Lithium grease on most fittings. And along with those they reported, I usually find more that are plugged. Corvairs usually have the UPPER plugged / dry as the wheels cover the straight zerk fitting. To this day I've never had to replace a dry balljoint. I guess people start to lube them after they get loose? MODERATOR Sea Mountain, between Charleston Harbor and Coos Bay!

() Date: November 16, 2020 11:10AM For sure Matt. That upper is tight. The suspension I’m working on has been sitting on a shelf for years and I got some joints with it. I figured I may just as well replace them. It hasn’t been mounted under a car since the 70s. Joe Western WI 66 Corsa Convertible VCCA # Re: Moog ball joint part # Posted by:

() Date: November 16, 2020 11:36AM You are correct about the upper balljoint grease fitting being difficult to hit with the gun or easily overlooked. I replace the short upper fitting with either 45 or 90 degree fitting when I am greasing customers cars the first time around. Next time it is easy for me to put connector onto fitting.
