Aww man... This is sad. Now that you mention it, I'm not even sure how machine shops do these. I probably would've made the same mistake.

25 years, you’ve stored that? Now it’s got dried out seals, a varnished up carburetor, rotted tires, etc. (basket case). Imagine how your garage will feel with that space recovered. Time to roll...

Dude, I’m sure that joint would unscrew. Like you said, there’s nearly no rust. Just get out your screw gun and a box of deck screws and start securing that workbench. lol

It seems to be a no-brainer. I would gladly eat the cost of the replacement ball joints just to be able to do them now, while everything is still new and rust free. Otherwise, how long do you...

I bought two K7117’s, as I was aware they were one bushing per box, and both are the same size.
