      Default Hmmm, custom stock LCA work?

      I was thinking it would be a good idea to bring an sn95 balljoint to a machine shop along with my control arm and see if they can machine it to accept the sn95 ball joint, I really hate to get rid of one of the things that made the Mustang SVO special, plus it would be easier and I think, more beneficial to do this.

      What are your inputs on this?

      I think it is an awesome idea. I heard there was a guy on SVOCA who successfully used to perform this service, but no longer does. If you perfect your technique I will gladly pay you to upgrade mine because balljoints are almost to where I need to replace them. I have considered going with SN95 arms, but I hear too many conflicting stories on how to make them work. GL and keep us posted!

      You could ask Roberto2000 how he did it and take that info to your machine shop.

      If you guys want to PM him and send me over what he says that'd be great, I am not a registered user over on that forum, I probably should be, I am just super busy between work/setting up my shop/and family functions at this time.

      Most definitely just waiting on my email or whatever to be looked at over on the forum. I will get this done, some way, some how.

      Are you still pursuing this? Just wondering since I saw your SVO for sale.
