RE: {Chrysler 300} ball joint tapper degrees ?

Thanks. I will go with 7 and see if it looks correct. I found a NOS one and it will be here in a couple of days. I can check any reamer I get against that.

I have not taken the other side off yet, but I am assuming the same issue will come up.

Trying to find another NOS spindle while working on the ones I have.

Thanks again. James

My 60 was 7 degree, I bought a ball joint hone to widen them out for an upgraded spindle.

Does anyone know definitively if the 1964 Chrysler ball join tapper is 7 Degrees or 10 Degrees or something else?

I am going to have to grind or mill out the stuck ball joint studs from the spindle. If I can get one end out, I can then use a ½ steel bar through the hole and the opposite end properly supported can be pressed out. I have managed to get a ½ hole in the lower, not quite centered. I am using a Dremel to try and get two sides down to the tapper and then perhaps it will some out. In any case, I suspect the tapper may get a little messed up, so I need to order reamers TODAY to get them moving.

Thanks for any assistance.

In the event someone has a spare spindle that is bear and they want to sell it, let me know. I found one NOS and it is on the way. But I still have to get one more either apart clean or fine a another one.
