Moog K772 is the upper ball joint, it fits 1965-1974 SATELLITE cars. Don I used it when I did my complete front end rebuild on my car last year

Don when you go to get an aligment make sure you set the ride height first to what you want. Factory manual alignment specs are no good for radial tires, they only work if you use bias-ply tires. For Radial tires use Camber -.50 to 0 degrees, Caster as much positive as you can get up to 3 degrees and toe in 1/16th to 1/8th inch. This is what I told the aligment shop to do and my car runs down the road straight as an arrow now. You will be limited to what you can do with stock A arm bushings, but if you have the Moog off set A arm bushing you can tweek it a little more.

you can also use the bigger C body tie rod ends that are stronger then the B Body tie rod ends. C Body cars use the 11/16 shank tie rod ends and B Body cars use the 9/16 shank tie rod ends, they bolt right up with no modifications. I did this on my car. You will have to use a C Body tie rod adjusting sleeve. PM if you want more information about the C body tie rod swap, it is worth doing

Great advice Kelly,wear did you get your alignment done.

Charlies work place, the guy that does the aligment work knows what is needed to get them to go down the road straight. Take him the numbers I told you to use and he will fix you up.

sounds like a good idea I'm just about to replace inner and outer tie rod ends with sleeves

I got all the parts from Rock Auto in the States

2 - Moog ES352R Outer tie rod for a (1970 Chrysler New Yorker)
2 - Moog ES355L Inner tie rod for a (1970 Chrysler New Yorker)

Moog doen't make an adjusting sleeve for the tie rod ends (I checked with Moog and they told me this, he didn't say why or he didn't know) so I went with

1 - PROFORGED 10510049 Billet Aluminum Tie Rod Sleeves; Material: Billet Aluminum; Upgraded Billet Aluminum Sleeves For Improved Performance; Sold In Pairs
Front; Length: 7.10; Thread size: 11/16-18 (for a 1970 Chrysler New Yorker)

These parts are a great upgrade if you are going to use big wide tires on the front of your car. I have P235 60/R15 on the front

Don and 67belvedere/225
these 5 parts cost $187.76 CANADIAN (including tax and duty) shipped to my door from Rock Auto in the States.
If I remember right Napa wanted 70+ for just one tie rod. So the cost for 4 tie rods was $280 plus tax here in Canada. I buy all my parts from Rock Auto it's alot cheaper to get them from Rock Auto then from Napa up here. It took less then a week to have them at my door
