What size ball joint socket fits Early A

[60V200Wagon]

What size ball joint socket will fit the stock ball joints on my 63 Dart?

Tried a 1 7/8" "small" bjs that I thought would be the correct size and it's too big. Fits sloppy.

Anyone know?

Thanks!

I think 1 3/4

I just measured my small BJ socket, and from flat to flat it is 1.791. The SBJ I removed measure 1.781-1.787. I removed the joints with a pipe wrench, before I had the socket.
I got the socket from Mancinni Racing.
Hope this is some help.

Thanks guys. I think this is the socket I need.

If anyone has one they'd be willing to lend for shipping $, please holler at me. Otherwise, I'll be buying one.

I think you can buy them at mancini racing...

I've just taken my upper arms off and taken them to a shop and had them swap the ball joints out.

This, unless you like getting really nasty dirty...
