I'm just not a fan of taking extreme measures like putting the control arm in a vise and forcing them in with a big wrench. You may have to get them out some day. I've tried Moog with mixed results. I've found Howe Racing 22320S ball joints fit perfectly every time and so have others. That's probably what you've seen. But they're not cheap, I'm not promoting that you use them unless you run out of options and want to depart with $200, and I can't say they offer any performance improvement. The threads in the control arms are fine. No reason to mess with those.

The Coupe body stores off the chassis pretty easily. I stored mine for a year or more without a buck. Just propped up along the doors as I recall and the rear. The nose (hood) you can store standing up if you have room. Did that too.
Ah, okay makes sense. Thanks. And these ball joint boots just go on the upper and lower front ball joints?
