Up until last year i never believed there was a 73-76 A body car with 9 inch drum brakes, that would make necessary the use of the small ball joint in an upper control arm.
Then in my wrecking yard scrounging, i came across two of them at different times, at two different yards.
And i have been scrounging wrecking yards since 1981, when they first started, and invented, the U Pull It self serv wrecking yards, out here in Northern California.
So it took me around 32 years before i ever noticed one, and i have been pulling suspension parts off Mopar cars and trucks, for the past 12 years to rebuild, and then sell on eBay for extra income.
So those 9 inch drum brake, A body cars are one, odd ball, car to run across in this day and age.
Don't have any clue as to why Ma Mopar produced such a stripped down model, but i guess a few got out the factory doors, for some reason or another.
I scanned a page out of my 74 factory parts book.
Hope it comes out in an attachment in this posting ok.
I have a new machine that I'm not used to using yet.
