Hey guys
Trying to do some research about the moogs ball joints used on the cando Mazda to Toyota drop spindle control arms .

Do the ball joints have to be spaced at all ( eg does the nut for the ball joint hold the spindle with out the need for a spacer between the spindle and the nut )

I got to run a few things past the engineer before he lets me go ahead with these

As far as i know they are not moog ball joints they are just a aftermarket ball joint. (you could double check with steve to make sure)They are just screw in ball joints from a chrysler. But on mine they do need a spacer between the nut and the spindle. the ball joints come with a thick washer but its not enought to get it tight and keep the castle part low enough for the cotter pin to go threw the hole. I havent tried to drill a new hole yet but its on my list.

Would you mind posting a photo of them installed up ?

Well mine are kustomwerks so they are a little bit different. steve made some improvements to them not sure how different they are. but Ill try and get a pic of it tomorrow.

I'm just really intreasted to see how far the Chrysler ball joint gets spaced to fit the Toyota spindle

It fits pretty good. I've got them as well ( custom werks) but from what I know they are close to the same. But I will recommend. Bending the lca some it will give you a shit load more movement. I bent mine 14 degrees
