upper control arm beveled pads
 

i was wondering where i can buy the beveled pads that go between the cross shaft and the shims for the upper control arm. gm has discontinued them and no dealers near me have them. the junkyard will not sell them seperate in fear that they will not be able to sell the complete crossmember. any help would be great. it is holding me up from having a roller. any help would be great, daniel.

best bet is the pick-n-pull

Machine the 'pads' area of the cross-shaft flat.

I ran in to the same problem ... I made my own on a lathe.

I did the same thing although I did it on Ride tech arms to lay flat against the dropmember mount.

well since i had the arms together and already powdercoated i went ahead and got them from a vender that is on here. about 4 bucks a piece, not bad.
thanks for all the info again guys. daniel
