REDLlNE Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 im considering chroming my a-arms and realized that the ball joints are not removable on stock a-arms, how do the chromers not destroy the ball joints when they chrome??

Cotton eyed Joe Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 I just got mine done a couple months ago, and what they do is mask it with this rubber type of tape. Worked out real well too. The protected the threads, the taper and the exposed portion of the ball. TELL THEM WHAT YOU DON"T WANT CHROMED!!! Always say what you do, and don't want done, and if you need to write it down for them. I brought in a shit load of parts with a purchase order, and I had written down what to do. It helped them out alot, and my parts came back how I wanted them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
