Back to work. I started cleaning up the steering linkage last weekend and discovered my ball studs are all shot. They were packed in dirt and look like eggs. They still measure 1.125" perpendicular to their axis but are almost .030 out of round when measured at about 30 degrees. I drew the parts up and sent them out to be quoted knowing they wouldn't be cheap and I also contacted a few people with used spares. The quote came in yesterday, $538 for the four parts. Granted these would be brand new but the price is a bit of a shocker for me. The drawings are below in case any future Packard enthusiast needs them. I have also drawn up the bearing cups for the balls but these haven't been quoted yet.
