Are there any known fitment issues with using the earlier style 4-bolt ball joint, vs the style used on 71-73's that only have 3 bolts? The "nose" area around the ball joint looks to be more blunt on the early version. The later version looks to provide more clearance...perhaps with the spindle or backing plate.
The reason I ask is several years ago I bought a front end kit from a guy on this site and didn't notice the UCA's were the early style. I'm not concerned with difference in form-factor as long as fit and function are compatible.
On the left is the 71-73 version, right is the earlier version.
