Alfa 164 Ball Joints - views
this is the Alfa 164 ball joint. As a few people know, it fits the sierra perfectly.
 
alfa 164 ball joint
To fit it in place of the standard Maxi ball joint, i had to redrill 1 hole - to fit using only 2 bolts ( as per the original maxi ).

This is from below ( dont worry, ill use longer bolts and nylocks...

What do people think? does it look safe ? - the original maxi used only 2 bolts - ok, the alfa has drillings for 3 but the maxi only had 2.

Why not just drill the third one.

well, the ball joints come from this thread - the guy says you need two washers
and then its a gooden.
it has the advantage of not needing the sierra hub to be re-drilled.
re- drilling the third hole - i will drill it - do you think it will weaken the wish bone at all?
