I figured as much, but it wasn't stated. It sure sounds like a
lot of work for little gain. Upper trunnions are weird, and all,
but for street use quite fine.

I think it would be a LOT easier to re-make an upper A-arm to
fit a ball joint steering knuckle in the "trunnion" chassis.
If I recall the ball joint A-arm is wide at the inner bushings.)
(I assume there's a lower ball joint in the AMX, and not an
American-type lower trunnion?)
