Default C5 Front Upper Ball Joint Taper?

I need to verify the taper in the front upper a-arm for the ball joint. Eveything I can find says 1 1/2" taper per foot or 7 degrees.

Correct?

Thanks!

According to my CAD data it is a 4.68 degree (call it 5) which works out to a 0.9818" per foot (close to 1"). This is measuring the upper ball joint stud.
