Been looking for a set of lower ball joints for an 82 Firebird. It is getting confussing at this stage. Some sites list lower ball joints for 70-02. Others say 90-92 Camaro and more say 82-97 Firebird.

After searching the ones I think I need are K6145T. Was wondering would anyone know if this is correct. Also does a 5L have the same Lower Ball Joints as a 2.8L.

Also what are problem solver ball joints for.

Thanks.

 

the ball joints used on these cars fit a TON of other vehicles; pretty common of GM to use a part in multiple applications. K6145T is a commonly used part number.

all 3rd gens, regardless of engine size or year, will use the same ball joint

 

problem solver joints are slightly oversized, so they will fit in a worn out a-arm.

and yes, 2nd gens and 3rd gens all use the same lower front ball joint, and the number 6145 is the common number for that joint.

 

Thanks for making things clear for me.
