Hello FABO, My 1963 Valiant has been retro-fit with power steering at some point. I replaced many needed ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman arm. Then had an allignment done (by someone who understood the old school cars). So the car tracks well, but when I turn a sharp or gentle corner in...

Across the flat the ball joint is 1 7/8"

So, I am going to buy the socket for the upper ball joints. To determine the correct size, is the measurement across the flat (side-to-side) or corner to corner. I ask because the new ball joint measures about 2 9/64 corner to corner and there is a socket available in that size. But I would have...
