Upper BJ problem

[Ron Gusack]

I've talked to Howe numerous times. The joint they sent me is supposed to fit both the 5108 and 5208. I sent them pics of their joint with my dial caliper and my control arm bolt spacing. It's clearly off about .100. They told me the one I have is the only one they offer and that they've never had this issue before. He said he thinks most guys just drill the control arm. I'm not really willing to do that, so I'm sending them back. As of now, I'm putting in some Moog 5108's that fit perfectly.

Would it be safe to drill the control arm to fit?

Speedway Motors has one, if it's longer I don't know.
