73 Charger Rallye Ball joint ?

[Randy73]

How do I tell if I need threaded or not, for the lower ball joint?

All four of your ball joints are threaded. Mancini racing sells a socket for them. But sometimes it don't break them loose. The best way I've found for suborn ones is an air hammer with a chisel. Good luck with yours.

Took 1.5 hours to get first BJ off with air chisel and 3 foot pipe wrench.

(What are the odds), found correct BJ socket- Matco, used, on discount table at chinese tool store for 5 bucks.

Took 5 minutes to put new BJ in and 10 min to take out BJ from other side with socket and impact gun.

Best 5 bucks I've spent in a looooong thime!!

Problem, my bottom ones are both pressed on. Tops took about 20 minutes to replace.

Could the bottoms be pressed on and the tops threaded or did someone screw up and press the old one on?
