71 Maverick upper balljoints

I searched but didn't find this, Are 71 Mav 3-bolt upper joints the same as Mustang 71's ?

 

sure, they are!

 

Tody, where I come from when someone said's, sure they are, it means there not. So I'm still not sure.

Live on the edge, man.

 

Yeah, Michigan is like that.....

 

Good to hear from you Dave, it's been a while.

 

I believe all the pre '70 joints are four bolt so do not interchange with '70-up parts... My '69 Fairlane Cobra has the four bolt upper B/J...

Upper( & lower) control arms as assemblies with B/J will interchange between:

All '70-up Maverick/Comet(I'm 99% the '69.5 have the four bolt)
'67-'73 Mustang/Cougar
'66-'71 Fairlane/Torino/Ranchero/Comet/Cyclone
'66-'70.5 Falcon

EDIT

Also '75-'80 Granada/Monarch

Again this is the complete A arm, if you are replacing just B/J you need to know if yours are three or four bolt type...

 

That's how I check to, unless I use the inter change book up to 1976. Purchased from Auto Krafters.

 

Thanks everyone I just got a pair from Autozone
