what size is the is the socket for the upper balljoint for a 1966 valiant?
but what is the correct size of the 4 sided socket?I think all the early A bodies with small ball joints use the same socket. They are a special socket & I think there are only three sockets used on all Mopars. I bought all 3 of mine from OTC tool. Depending upon the wear & tear, & rust issues on the upper A arms, they can be a real SOB to get out.
thankyou !!The socket size is 1.809.

I believe I got a 1 59/64, or something close to that, from Summit for about $13. Slightly sloppy, but did the job...and did NOT cost $50 like the specialty socketsMade one from a craftsman 1 3/4 socket 3/4 drive ground out 4 points of a 12 point socket
