Hi all. Although this part is an example of why I want (nay, need!) a lathe, I do not yet have one. My current thinking is that even if I order one now, it may be longer than I'd like to wait for this part.
I'm in northern Virginia, but the part is small enough that I'm not sure location matters. I'm happy to pay a reasonable amount for the part.
It's a tapered sleeve, made of steel, to seat a ball joint in an aluminum control arm. The ones that the control arm came with are entirely wrong and prevent correct attachment of a ball joint. I have tried to adequately draw and dimension the part. I tried to be clear on tolerances, though it is possible some could be relaxed if necessary (for example no need for even good concentricity between OD and tapered ID.
Anyhow, please let me know if this is something you could help with.
Thank you,
Jason
