Fake rivets on A-arm

[Russ S.]

Has anyone used the fake rivets from Dr. Rebuild on the upper ball joints? I know they will be noticed in judging but they look cleaner than a bolt. I bought some but wanted to know if anyone has installed them before. They seem to be tapered so that they become press-fit when you thread the nut on.thanks

Hi Russ, yes I have use them. They do look neater and EASY to install.

As a follow-up for anyone look at these in the future, when I tried to intall them the rivet shaft just turned in the ball joint hole. That is, the taper was not big enough to press fit into the hole. Not worth the money.

Guys, How is this going to look any better than a bolt? The threads and the nut, (lock washer) will look no different than a regular bolt. After all are you not looking at it from the bottom looking up?

You are correct. From the bottom it looks the same as bolts.
