Is the large ball joints, for disk brakes the 1-59/64 size? I want to buy a socket and I want the correct size for it.
Thanks!
 
Chryslers ball joints require a special ball joint socket. A lot like sender sockets.
You might find some 6 or 12 point socket that will work.
 
Yes, I want to buy the 4 point ball joint socket. I see a bunch Mac and Snap on, online fairly cheap and I want one for my toolbox. I usually just rent one from my parts store, but I use them enough to have my own.
 
I believe it's the 1 59/64" but I'm not 100% I'm hoping to go work on my Duster tmrw (Tuesday) actually gonna try to get an upper balljoint out so I'll be using my socket. If you don't have a definite answer by then I'll get back on here with one.
 
You are correct on the size. 1 59/64" across the flats for the 73 up disc brake large ball joint.
If you need the Moog socket # it is T 412
It is a good quality socket but is 3/4" drive.
I use a adaptor to get it on my Ingersoll 1/2" impact.
I don't have a snap-on or mac #??
 
I bought the $13 1+59/64" socket from SUMMIT. It was a little sloppy on my 72 Valiant, but worked fine. It would probably be perfect for 73 + up.
