Same problem
I have the same problem.
I just slid a 69 camaro sub frame from a second owner wreck under my 67 firebird. When I went to rebuild the front end...the ball joints didn't fit. Pitman arm, Idler arm inner and outer tie rods all worked with 67-69 parts but the ball joints were 70.weird indeed.
I picked up some upper and lower A arms today at the Monroe swap meet and will rebuild and install them to keep things kosher.
I did install the 70 ball joints upper and lower. The only thing I had to do was use a thicker washer under the castle nut as the nut when tightened bottomed out on the threads. No driving issues and my shimmies are gone but I want the right parts under my Firebird.
