The ball joints are the same from 1984-1996? i will watch for the Moog...
Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
My FIRST clue (about parts for the Zs) was when I tried to buy plenum gaskets for my LT5. The clerk punched up "1990 ZR-1" on his computer, but fetched an intake gasket that clearly was for the L98; someone's goof when loading the data base, obviously. But, it didn't end there! When I tried to explain the error, the clerk insisted that, "No. The computer said..." So, because the car was outside, I told him to show me where it fit. He actually poured over the engine, looking for where the gasket fit. It was quite humorous until the store owner drove up and put an end to the clerk's buffoonery!

We (Z drivers) who work on our own cars soon learn be ready for similar issues with confusion over (mainly) LT5 related parts, but some others too.
