Yes they will fit but depending on the wheel you are using such as the r\t wheel , you will have to mod.the upper '"a" arm around the upper ball joint for clearence,just don't grind down to far, or you will weeken the arm,failure may happen. the bolt pattern and center hole are the same as your stock wheels
That depends on exactly what linkage and joint you are referring to. Some joints can be replaced alone and some can't. You'll have to ask a more specific question.
Top ball joint is 60 ft.lbs., initial. Then tighten to align hole for cotter pin. Bottom ball joint is 94 ft.lbs., initial. Then tighten to align hole for cotter pin
Remove the tire and wheel. Remove the retaining nut from the top of the ball joint. Pound the ball joint out with a hammer or mallet. Reverse the process to install the new ball joint.
If the u-joint has never been changed you can't grease them because factory u-joints don't have grease alimites...you will have to change the u-joint. After market u-joints have alimites.
The joint you are looking for is the U joint. You have one at the back of the transmission and another where the drive shaft attaches to the rear end. On the extended version there will also be a U joint in the middle. So if you look under the car and the drive shaft just looks like one long tube you have a two joint shaft. If however, you see what appears to be a joint about the size of both of your fists together in the middle of the shaft, you are looking at the third joint.
