$10 Upper Ball Joint Socket - Really

BTW, as a follow up, this socket worked very well for installation with a 1/2" rachet, breaker bar, and torque wrench. I just put both in yesterday and it was A-OK. The good thing about this tall socket was that it fits a guy's hand well, and I could thread the BJ's in for 2 or so threads by hand gripping this socket, and thus keep an eye on BJ thread alignment. The tall socket was not a stability issue, and even was a help as it was I could grip it with my non-wrench hand and stabilize the socket and also use it for upper body leverage.

The points of the tangs dug in a bit and left marks (very shallow, like .005" maybe?) and the only issue was that when the BJ was getting down towards bottoming out, the tangs would start to dig into the UCA upper BJ hole edge, but I would turn it 1/8 turn, then release and let the socket move up a hair, and it was a non-issue.

As for size, this is for the 1-59/64" 4 sided upper BJ's; these were used in the early B-bodies (my '62 Dart) but I don't know when they used those in the A-bodies. The larger, later ones that I am aware of are used in the P/U trucks.....
