Identificy Ball Joints

[chuck will]

Will try one more time! "Ball Joints" I hear about them but have not
heard how to tell them apart. Apparently both types will fit into the
GMC sockets. The Tornado and the GMC how do you tell them apart? This
is important for me to be able to know. I had mine changed out and need
to know if they are the right ones. Every time I do something one of
you guys comes up with something that scares the H---- out of me. With
no answers to my questions. Thanks Chuck, Lompoc

Chuck considering that the upper and lower control arms are the same as the
toronado it is understandable that they would fit. the lower GMC control
arm however has some extra strengthening gussets added. The only way I know
how to tell the difference between toronado and GMC lower ball joints is by
comparing manufacturers and part numbers. I gave you the moog numbers, I
can find no other manufacturer.
