Upper BJ problem

Ron Gusack · 08-22-2014, 09:10 PM

I got the Global West bushing in my control arms and I bought upper BJ's from Howe with a .5 longer stud. The bolt hole in the BJ don't align with the holes in the arm. The 2 wide holes on the arm measure about 2.400 and the joint measures 2.500. Howe says the joint fits K5108 arms, which is the BJ number for a 70 Nova. 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.
