I Hate BUBBA!!!
It appears Bubba changed my RF lower ball joint in the past. He cut my dust shield to do it! I already posted in the "Wanted" section. I'm just bitching here.
Completed LF included in the pic to show how much Bubba cut off - as well as to show off my work.

You might want to check with Vette Brakes and Products. I think they sell those parts (at least I think they used to...).

What do you mean he was down in the south ? He wasn't visiting . HE WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE SOUTH. I think he just sneaks around up here in the north at night doing his damage and goes back down to the south during the day to slop the hogs and make some moonshine.

This sprung from the mind of the King of the Bubbas before he retired in PA, after mastering the art of hacking up sharks. He retired to Florida and now lives a comfortable, simple life putting wings on C5s and custom fabricating carburetor linkage systems.

Negative. There are more Bubbas in PA than anywhere else; this was the show car in their 1964 convention, held somewhere deep in the Pennsylvania mountains:

From what I've heard, bubbas are all over the US of A. I have kin in the South who are far better mechanics than some I know about in CA.

Nope! The ball joint separated and the dust shield took the hit. That's why only one ball joint was changed.
