On what car? AND there are lots of listings for FE5 LCA but without actually measuring the nub they are probably the small ball joint as well. Thats more likely than getting a real SS ball joint on a FE5 LCA. I wouldn't trust any of the listings. The only "true" LCA are quite a bit more money.
Much like a Indiana Jones movie, the search continues..........

We have no better resources than GoOgle, I can't find any spec sheets that include the stud size.

So does that mean if we took it to a shop to replace LCAs, they would likely put the wrong part on one side?

The Moog K80567 is listed as fits the FE5 and the FE3 Suspension hmmm , wrong!
I’m almost ready to order one to measure it and confirm the stud diameter

I sent an email to the Federal Mogul (Moog's parent) Media Relations folks asking for a statement. We'll see.
I suspect if they care enough to respond they will want some pix an documentation, Please post it if you got it.
