Do you have to heat the front lower ball joints to remove them? And also a arm bushings ?

 

If (as i understand) 61 and 62 are similar if not the same you need to drill out the studs/rivets that fasten it to the lca. Also note in the manual there is a different method of inspecting them than conventional lbj's.

 

o.k.thank you for all the help

 

Do they have two diff lower front balljoints?

 

The lower ball joints on a 1962 Starfire are pressed into a short arm. The ball joint/ short arm assembly is bolted to the lower control arm. You buy the ball joint/ short arm as an assembly.
The upper ball joints are riveted in and the 1/4" rivets have to be drilled out. Use care, drill a small pilot hole in the center of the rivet head and then a 1/4" drill bit. Drill almost thru the head and the knock the head off with a chisel, the take a punch knock the ball joint out. If you try to drill the whole rivet out and miss the center of the rivet you'll drill in to the control arm.

I want to thank you for all the help I have figured out that I was not checking enough,I didn't know that 61 and 62 had diff lbj than other years,so now I need to find a pair that are made for that year fusion don't sell them

 

AutoZone has the arm assembly, but $$$$$$! It looks like they also have just the ball joint. Probably wouldn't be a bad job if you've got the right equipment to press the ball joint out of and back in to the arm.
When I did mine all I could find at the time was the arm assembly.

I will go to AutoZone thank you dennis
