Check out the dome on top of the ball joint, the old one is flat. I dont think I've ever seen that before. They are identical except for that, my question is . . . do you think I will have intererence issues with the tire or rim?
With 14" spare that clears the 10.95" rotors
If you ever wonder where a 14" rim will hit on a 11.75 rotor setup and Wilwoods, here ya go.

Did you know up until about 10yrs ago the upper ball joint used in almost every oval track car from a Modified all the way to top tier Winston/Nextel/whoever now Cup was a B-body screw in? I couldn't believe it when I saw it on the Monte Carlo we got from Darrell Waltrip in mid 90's, then 10yrs later on another car we got when we went Busch North
These are TRW ball joints.

Andy,
I'm not concered with the quality of these joints. They are Made in the USA TRW's
Upper control arms ready for new bushings, ball joints & the proper color paint!
