Subject: Vanagon Upper Ball Joints

So, here is Dennis asking a question. What are folks using for upper ball joints on the 2WD Vanagons?
Just trying to complete a job. Seems everything available does not have enough articulation for it to go together without having to lift the lower control arm. And this is for van that still has the OEM shocks, (1985). Also, had some that were not even drilled properly for mounting. And now many do not fit in the GoWesty spacers.

Frustrating!
