Forgot I had these laying around from awhile ago
Ball Joint Cups for making tubular control arms
Should fit all '80s FWD Dodge/Chrysler
Ball joint used for mock-up was for a MOOG '89 Daytona

I was looking into making tubular control arms but never got around to it
Thought was to use 5/8" or 3/4" tubing hence the .75" height
They are a press fit (full .5" verse the barely .375 I measured on the factory stamped unit)
I step the inside of the cup to clear the wider bottom of the ball joint
Will accept the snap ring

Specs
Mild Steel (from solid not tubing, no need to worry about joints)
2" o.d.
.75" tall
.25" thick at top in press area
pressed area is .50" tall
Clearance I.D. at the bottom for the ball joint still .125 thick
Measures a .005" press, light grease and bench vise , no problem to assemble

I have 3 sets left from before
I can offer these for $35 shipped
After these are gone I can make more (possible chromoly if needed)
But not sure on the price , I'll have to go by what the boss wants to charge
So get them now
