72 Duster Resurrection

I got an answer on the suspension parts.

Thanks for checking with that seller.

I ended up calling in to MI Bearing and placing my order. They actually did not have the XRF upper ball joints (K772) or the XRF pittman arm. They said they directly contacted XRF and they did not have any available. So I got an MAS pittman arm and MOOG upper ball joints from rock auto. You got to make do with what you can find.

Question, some of the 74 control arms I am using have been completely stripped and powder coated by the previous owner:

Is the powder coating on the bushing holes and ball joint tapered holes going to interfere with the new bushings and ball joints? Power coating has some thickness to it.....should I try and sand off the coating in these areas?
