Quick Question on Drum to Disc breaks

[frederick_76]

Ok when doing the drum to disc convertion, I know that the upper ball-joints are different cuz. of the upper controlarms, But are any other bushings different? I ask this because I ordered a kit from P.S.T. and told them that I only needed to swap the upper ball-joints from a 69 a body to a 74 a body. Anybody know for shure if this is the only different ball-joint/bushing? Thanks.

The upper control arm bushings are in the upper control arm. Since you are using the upper control arm from the 74 car, those are the bushings you need.

I doubt there is a difference, but the guys at the parts store should be able to tell you.

If the bushings in the new arm are ok, then there is no need to change them. You will need no further parts.

It is advisable to change the eccentric kits(upper arm bolt kits) as it will make reinstall, and alignment much easier.(Alignment is required when you are done)

The lower ball joints are different as well.
