Ball joint socket size and where to purchase?

No need for a spare pair, if they are loose just tack weld them in.
@townsend what size was the ball joint?
I believe there are 3 different sizes.
Just did a test fit on the early small ball joint 2298533 and found a tight fit on all 3 sockets listed in post #4.

Now I’m concerned… “normal” from the factory or as in “someone’s already been in there” Do I need to plan on finding and buying a spare pair of upper control arms just in case? I just ordered the socket and it’ll be here next week hopefully…
