DOES ANYONE KNOW THE ANSWER??

I HAVE A 93 FORD EXPLORER AND ARE THE UPPER BALL JOINTS THREADED OR NONTHREADED.

93 they should be non threaded, it is refering to the camber shim.

IN late 92 Ford re-designed the TTB slightly.......
the pre 92 ones used a threaded joint, the re-designed used a slip in shim with a pinch bolt......

I think they are pressed in

Thanks guys

Yeah, that is what my good buddy 88vert said as well that he was 90 percent sure they are nonthreaded. He wanted to be 100 percent sure before we change them

Has anyone else noticed its almost impossible to get that pinch bolt design to have no play. I just changed mine, and maybe its just my left side, but even if I torque the pinch bolt real good there is still play after driving it for a while. I wonder if it would hurt to get threaded ones and stick em in there, torque the pinch bolt, then the threaded part. Just thought I'd share my experience.

You have got to be kidding me, those shims are in there so friggin tight, even with the pinch bolt loose......

if your shims have play in them I would suspect something is wrong, either torque that pinch bolt more, or you have the wrong shim installed.........Moog has the highest quality shims I have seen.........
