I cross posted on FBBO. Ebay ball joints wont fit the socket for the uppers. Reverse engineered in China I am sure, but what is not? Got my $$ back and got some from Oreillys. Checked NAPA and offshore also. Our choices are getting slim.

Figures, but the sizes were pretty silly anyway. 1 59/64? what were they thinkin'?
2 9/64" for the big ones? Frustrating for sure.

I buy them on Ebay, but I always get old stock. Sometimes you can't find any, but they usually show up in a few days. If you can plan ahead enough to shop, you shouldn't have a problem. Needing them right now could be a different story.
 
Well I was trying to set all my ducks up and got them over a month ago with all the other parts for a complete FE rebuild. They were the only parts I had issues with. Lucky the seller is a stand up guy and gave a refund. He probably lost $$ on the sale.
