Front Suspension Parts

G'Day All,

I have a 1960 GMC Stepper and wondering who would have the correct replacement parts for my Lower Ball joints and Idler arm. I have seen a couple variations on the idler (curved or straight)? or does it matter? They look to be 5-1/2" center to center. As far as the lower ball joints go, It seems they have been replaced in the past since they are bolted and not rivetted. I have had fitment issues like the rest of you and was hoping to save some grief. See pics below.
I do not see any slop in the ball joint But, when I try to move the tire from 6-12 O'clock I feel about 1/16"-1/8" movement, when I do it with the tire off I don't feel any movement. at 9 and 3 I see some movement in the idler arm. Does not seem to be the wheel bearing. Issue is on both sides. Suggestions would be appreciated.
:waah:
