I called Howe and the tech was going to look into it and call me back, which he never did.

Is my control arm weird or is the Howe BJ drilled wrong? I looked for specs on K5108 joints hoping to find a bolt diagram, but I've come up empty so far. Maybe they mistakenly sent me K5208's.

Are Proforged joints good? Afco, Global West and Moog don't have long BJ's for my car.
Ron my book shows 70-74 nova takes K-5108, the other chevrolet cars 70-74 take K-5208, even nova from 75-79 take s K-5208.
That's taking right from my moog book.
So looks like they screwed up on you Ron.
