Part number errors, once wrong in the system, seem hard to erase, even in the GM system. If Rare Parts were more knowledgeable they would extend the fit to FWD TZE chassis 73-78 all.
The slight allowable slop in the lowers is allowable because it is the weight bearing joint. As soon as it is loaded the slop of the ball and socket is self zeroing. Most important is proper A arm ‘massaging’ and dry fitting of new ball joint during install (a take away from Lenzi seminar)
