I am trying to find info on the S13 front ball joint. I need exact measurements of both the diameter of the base (the part that gets pressed into the LCA) and I need to know the height from the lower lip to where the snap ring attaches. Please refer to the linked photo for clarification. If you don't have a ball joint to measure, I could also go by the measurements of the bore on the LCA itself. Thanks in advance.

Are you making some kind of extended ball joint or something so that you will correct the arms angle on a slammed car?

I am trying to use S13 application roll center adjusters. I think the fitment is close to what I need, but I would like measurements to verify.

No worries. I'm sure someone here knows.

I suppose even measurements of an S14 ball joint would work. I know that besides the taper, they are interchangable with S13 front ball joints.

Why dont you wing down to the local parts store and ask to borrow one for a minute? Im sure they would let you measure one.

If you wait a week or two I can get the measurements for you.
