Just replaced all four with the Moogs,You may have to re-drill the uppers with a 3/8, and get some grade eight bolts.You have the right numbers for a two wheel drive.Have FUN!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, don't use the bolts that come with the ball joints, they looked pretty scarrrry to me. Drill out the ball joint and/or control arm bolt holes to match up with bigger bolts. RL used 3/8 bolts, I used 7/16 bolts. Be sure to get a new drill bit if your drilling into the cast iron of the ball joint, while your at the hardware store pick up a set of grade 8 bolts, 3/8 or 7/16 what ever floats your boat.
