Re: Ball Joint Kastle Nuts
Thanks all! I agree the new joints should have come with the nuts, but....

Re: Ball Joint Kastle Nuts
Mike, did they use the copper split pins on all Camaros from Norwood? I myself had ever noticed copper castle nuts on front suspension.

Re: Ball Joint Kastle Nuts
I have no idea, I took the photo above last year while cleaning up the steering linkage from a low mile 69 Camaro. That is the only time I ever saw the copper plating, and I believe it was never touched as it was removed from the car with 299 mi. on the clock.

Re: Ball Joint Kastle Nuts
It is a old drag race car that started out as a sb RS 69 Camaro, @ 299 miles it was turned into a drag car. When the currant owner bought it he got all th OE take off stuff. I got the front seats [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img] door panels , complete steering system and the steering box, rear shackles, mint RS wiper motor, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img] . He would not sell me t.he RS components. Damn it ! He also had the hacked up dash carrier with the odometer. @ 299.
The seats went into the Ed Stinn COPO I restored, the rest is sold. Mike
