Default Moog K304, don't fit

These lower control arm. All joint don't fit, the bolt size is to large, to fit in A arm, I enlarged the hole in a scrap arm, but the

side bolt holes don't line up.
What is the correct part number? Beautiful day today and was hoping to get this together.

The zerk fitting goes thru that hole in the control arm. The stud should be pointed down.
As for number I used the Moog K6035 joints in my 1971 for the lower arms.

You must have the wrong box there because that number is for bushings that go in the shaft.

You're not the first and you won't be the last. The vettes mounts the lower upside-down compared to lots of others
