I need to know where the best place I can buy aftermarket control arms is. GM no longer produces them and the ones I get from junkyards aren't any better then what's on it? Any thoughts?
Thanks
Matt

Explain what you mean by control arms. Upper or Lower or what? I live in Knasas and the stuff that is available down here is good in metal content, they may need the new bushings, but that is all. Here is a salvage yard in my area that specializes in GM parts and they are good people. http://www.lewisautoparts.com/

I generalized because I need an upper on one side and a lower on the other. Thank you for the address of that junkyard. I wouldn't mind putting on all new though if they are in fact made anywhere though.
