Also a moot point once they've been replaced as there isn't a single supplier of ball joints that supplies them with rivets.Hence I always suggest people with GM ones refurb them, rather than replace with crap. Its a bit extra work, but cheaper and will last longer.
Is there any easy to spot tell tale that they are original GM? GM logo somewhere?
They'll look like they were rescued from the Titanic; rusty and covered in crap off the road. You're getting bogged down in details that are unimportant.
You've got new wishbones, so fit the front poly bushes and get them on the car. They'll be an improvement. If the removed ones look vaguely saveable, keep them. If they don't, bin them. To me, the only thing the originals do better than refurbished ones is that the ball joints are rivetted on, not bolted.
Yeah, worth keeping the GM wishbones for that very reason.Unfortunately, you're stuck with whatever is currently fitted to the car, and 21 years after the last one was built they're highly unlikely to be the genuine ones.
It was said a lot many years ago that WWIII would kick off in the middle east.A lot now depends on how Israel react/have reacted[not seen the news since first thing this morning].Well, we're still here, so either they're pretending not to notice, or the response was measured.
