    I work at a Federal Mogul facility and we make the Moog brand, I think I may need some pictures of your ball joints and I may be able to recognize the part number, I may need some other info as well. Can you post some images, or give more details? I know we make some ball joints for Heidts.

    I just orderd some from Horton Hot Rods $5.00 each. They are in Canada but an excellent company to deal with.
     
  10. You beat me to it!
     
  11. I agree, Horton's is good to deal with. However, they don't have what I need. I bought the Heidt's boots they sell for IFS and the bottom flange is too fat. My uppers won't close tight together now.
    I took one old out and it has a flat steel flange. Anybody seen these? I got IFS used and no stamping on it to Mfg?
    Thanks Doug

    I called Fatman to ask what year MOPAR joints they used then bought them at NAPA.
     
  13. I think the MOOG number is 722 for the ball joints. Upper ball joint for some Mopar applications. Not certain, but it'll give you some direction.
