    Do escort capri bottom balljoints have the same taper as anything else?? Pic attached

    Click image for larger version Name:	DSC_0026-1.jpg Views:	64 Size:	14.5 KB ID:	80183 Click image for larger version Name:	DSC_0025-1.jpg Views:	64 Size:	14.3 KB ID:	80184 On my oval hotrod my bottom arm is made up cut and shut style and the balljoint is shot, does anyone know if the balljoint of anything else is the same taper and length as an escort/capri so i can look for alternative arms or balljoint to do a cut and shut with. The photos above should show you what im trying to acheive. Thanks James.

    James, can't help with your original question, but that's looks a very dangerous way of getting negative camber. I would have thought it would be better to buy the adjustable type arms that are widely available or redrill the crossmember. The anti roll bar will spread enough to give the camber you need.

    I am not surprised the ball joint is shot with all that heat that it must have absorbed.
