<VV> front lower ball joints

[Ed Dowds]

The lower balljoints are press-in, as Jim stated, so be careful and make 
sure you don't buy "replacements" that are screw-in. These are harder to 
install and prevent you from ever using a press-in again. Some replacement 
manufactuers made these screw-ins to be able to service lower arms that had 
the holes enlarged by previous faulty installs. There are some NOS 
replacements like these at swap meets. I suspect they are leftovers because 
most people (when Corvairs were being made) knew that the lowers should be 
press-in.
I think that 1960 Corvairs MAY have used screw-ins. Do any '60 owners know 
if that was the case?
