Ball Joint differences in Spicer/Dana axle Question.
I picked up a new lower ball joint today and went with the heavy duty
one that still had a grease nipple.
They also have a light duty one listed.
I was reading the directions and it says for a typical Spicer 44 front
end. Well, I have a 30, not a 44.
Does anyone know if they are the same part or do I need to go get the
other one?
I am eyeballing them and the deck on the new one appears thicker, I
don't think it will fit.
Thanks.

I think not, at least take a trip to the store and compare.
