Okay, had a bit of a delay with our Jeep breaking down on the hwy buying a new car (see signature below and some school plays tried to get back on track today only to find out that the parts I ordered from http://www.vickauto.com/newstore/ are apparently NOT the correct parts I even called and was re-assured when there were rumors floating around that these were not Fiat parts etc. Well, looks like I have learned a life lesson today
Original upper A arm and new from Vick's
(new one had issues with bolt hole line up
New lower shock support does not fit SOB!
THANKS VICKS, I LOVE BUYING "FIAT 124 PARTS" THAT DO NOT WORK/FIT
Putting the frustration aside, I was able to push the bolt sleeve through and cut off the excess to make the shocks fit. Needless to say I will be taking my business elsewhere

Re: Lower ball joint failure
I took mine elsewhere last year. I don't like to be lied to.
