Okay... it's time to seek out help. There maybe a simple solution to this but it is really bugging me out. I dropped the suspension 1 inch on my 66 fastback. Everything is good, except I want to use the wedge that came with the kit that goes between the upper ball and control arm. Most of the research I've done indicates you do not need to use the wedge if you are dropping 1 inch or less.
Here is the problem, when I install the wedge, the grease fitting or zerk on the ball joint is positioned lower in upper control arm opening where you would fit your grease gun to grease the upper ball joint. To make matters worse, the bolts that come with the kit to secure the upper ball joint interfere with the upper control arm opening as well.
So, has anyone out there ever used the wedge when relocating the upper control arms and if so, did you have the same problem with the zerk??
Thanks all!
