what balljoints do you use for this swap? i dont have the z one, but the 510 ones interfere with the brake caliper.

Hey,I just finished swapping my 280ZX struts in to my 70 510 a couple of days ago....use your 510 ball joints, but swap the left strut to the right side and the right to the left.then all bolts in just fine!
