The stud isnt threaded, The tapered ball stud is an interference fit into the trailing arm. Perhaps there is a spot or rosette weld holding it in place.

I came across this when trying how to make late 21mm sway bars work with my ball-joint rear arms.

I gave up any idea of removing the ball-joint in the arm and had a droplink fabricated that essentially links the plastic ball socket at the top, to a rose-joint that bolts to the sway bar at the bottom.

The rose joint is threaded so the whole thing is adjustable.

some guy saw it off and then taps a hole where the ball stud used to be.

alfizzo,

It would help to know what year control arm you are asking about! The '67 - '73 steel arms are DEFINITELY WELDED! The '74 and later aluminum control arms are a different case.

If its anything like the trailing arm on my 78 that I pulled off just last night, there is a bolt that secures the link to the arm.

Angry

So what did the solution end up being. I have a '74 911 here with aluminum trailing ams and am also putting the later style 21 mm sway bar on. I have broken one of the balls off since I assumed all of them unscrewed and I really laid into it with the pipe wrench. Does the Ball mount press in? Can I pull it out then tap the hole? PLEASE HELP. this sucks

I never got mine out and couldn't find anyone who has, hence my fabricated rear drop-link.

Can you clean up the broken face, then drill it and tap it as suggested in one of the links above?
