Tjere should be paper work. One of the bolts might be shanked or shorter. The s10 shares the same upper balljoint but it a different control arm. They must have supplyd bolts for both applications.

Pizza is right, had a few trucks to replace the ball joints in as well as a few other vehicles that used the same ball joint. Comes with two sets of bolts, just gotta read the instruction sheet that came with it to determine which you need to use. Sucks to hear that Summit dropped the ball man. Maybe the regular shipper was out sick that day.

no no, single set of screws with each ball joint, i did not get two sets of screwes with each. ill take pics tomorrow of the head of the bolts. other then color and the markings they are identical.

And instructions paraphrased say, Install ball joint correctly lol

Also, this is what I was talking about. To late now its back together but still, Thats all that came with everything.

Notice one set of bolts is silver and one black.

As long as the bolt grade is the same no worries man. Too small to see on my phone. Just one set is coated whereas the other is an oxide finish. Just google bolt grades and head markings. That should give you sone more insight on the matter.

Pics i forgot to put up when I was fixing it, I only have my phone so I didn't get many good pics. Fail.

Photobucket is being a bitch so, I had to add the photos here

Well, turns out when I put my pacesetter LTs on a couple years ago I put the crappy gaskets that came with the LTs on instead of the feltpros I had bought.....whoops.

Gasket blew out when I started it up earlier :jest:

So they are good for about 2 years or 20k miles LOL
