All Models Exc. XKE Series (1963-73)

The upper ball joint must be replaced if signs of wear or play are evident. Lower ball joint is adjustable with shims if axial play exceeds 0.004 - 0.006" (0.101 - 0.152 mm). Shims must not be removed to take up excessive wear in the ball pin and socket. If parts are badly worn, replacement is necessary.
