Anyone happen to know the taper for the rear toe control rod ball joint on a '96?
I plan on measuring it myself, but it would be more comforting to have a number to compare to. Trying to machine a sleeve that brings the taper to a .5" hole. Unless someone knows where to buy one of these already :sos:
 
Not positive but it is probably 2 inches per foot.

You were correct, Thanks!

My measurements came up as follows:
Small end of taper- .505" diameter
Large end of taper- .685" diameter
Distance between measurements (height)- 1.105"
That comes out to 9.25* (1.95" per ft) vs the 9.46* (2" per ft).
Ill assume thats my measurement error and go with the 2"/ft
 
If you are reaming iron or steel with one of those reamers go really slow and use lots of oil.
