even though they are GM,...could it be that the replacements were intended to be nut and bolted?

I don't know,but can't believe that I am the only one having this problem.Especially with all of the people on this site that use rivets to secure the ball joints.

The ball joints from PST look like yours on the right, but they use 5/16" hardened gr. 8 bolts--

NOS replacements maybe ? I can't see a service department re-riveting a balljoint on when they could chisel,bolt and get it out the door. Service replacements I would think should be bolt on.

I agree Bob--But it just seems odd that the holes are so big--the heads of the bolts would be larger also--just doesn't look right-----What we need is someone who's familiar with holes-----Rick(Mr70)?---
