The iron upper front balljoint carrier is also a grease reservoir, and 
cutting more than about 050" from one side risks falling thru the casting, 
producing a grease leak. Besides, the diameter of the ball-end inside the chamber 
is over 1.25", so with that big a cut, you'd make a flat spot on the ball, 
I'm afraid. 
I didn't cut apart the Chrysler-type ball joints I'm currently using, but I 
suspect the same limitations apply, even with my new aluminum balljoint 
carriers. Cheers- J Deryke
