Just a quick question for those of you who have used the Pacer IFS-it seems to be a common complaint that there is a lack of replacement parts available. I went to a boneyard "out in the hills" today with my best friend, Colin, ostensibly looking for parts for one of his '76 Honda Civics (he has two). While we were there, I briefly looked at the front suspension under an AMC Pacer, and I noticed that the lower balljoints bolt in, quite similar in fashion to GM midsize car upper balljoints. The Pacer upper balljoints are rivetted in, also similar to GM midsize. Would it be possible to replace the Pacer lower balljoints with GM uppers? Would the upper balljoints be strong enough to use in the lower (or loaded) position? I've heard that GM midsize Malibu, Monte Carlo, etc. spindles would swap out for the Pacer ones...sounds like it may work. If it did, I could likely go back there and pick up the suspension cheap. Any input from you 'Bolters out there would be appreciated. Thanks In "Advance"
