Yeah, the dealer is the best option in some cases.

I thought somewhere around '78 or '79 the strut tube changed from a design where the ball joint top nut could only be accessed from inside the tube to one where the joint is bolted to a housing which is in turn bolted to the bottom of the tube. I could be wrong about that, but I posted the question because it's something I want to learn.

I got the P/S-non P/S idea in my head because I see the non P/S in catalogs as interchangeable from side to side and the P/S ones as specific to left and right, and because P/S came around sometime in the late '70s. That could be a separate issue, no pun intended.

Thanks.
