Wheel Fell Off 65 Rambler.... EEEEkkkk....!

["Randy Baker" <iloveoldclassics@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well it was bound to happen... ball joint broke off right in my parents 
drive way.  Backing up over some pavement and up on the grassy hill (Dod 
doesn't like how the whootpie wagon leaks on the pavement) and anyway all 
the shifting and bumps knocked it out of it's sitting position and off came 
the front wheel.  I'll post some wild looking pics later.  Am VERY blessed 
this didn't happen on the highway.

Did I mention this was a surprise to me, as the other wheel was the wheel 
that seemed a bit off balance, due to the rubber bushing melted off being to 
close to the exhaust pipe.

So... how hard/easy will it be to find new ball joints for this 65 AMC 
Classic wagon ????  I called napa and they didn't have a source.  About a 
mile down the road is a old 65 Classic I may buy on the cheep and use parts 
off of it... would prefer new.

Thanks for any help during this stressful event,
Ramble'n Randy
