So, putting in my new Moog Problem Solver ball joints and I have a problem. The driver side went in beautifully with no problems. However, I have a problem on the passenger side. First off it went in with very little effort (1/2" ratchet, whereas the driver side needed a 3/4" breaker bar with a long pipe the whole way in!), and now it won't torque at all, it just spins easily even though it's bottomed out. Per the FSM if you can't torque it to "at least 125ftlbs" you need to replace the UCA.
Do I need to replace the UCA or would a tack weld or two be acceptable?
If I need to replace the UCA, does anyone have a passenger side for a '71?
I know I could possibly solve my problem with new tubular UCAs from Firm Feel, but after spending a huge amount on my suspension I'm not sure I see the value in it unless I have no better (economical) option.
Thanks in advance.
