Front lower control arms
Starting the rebuild up front tonite. I've got a mixed bag of components and need to replace my lwr a-arms. Currently have 73-87 spindles and rotors mated to a 71-72 lwr arm (with the newer ball joint. The arms have been modified (shock mount relocated and bump/steering stop removed).
I'm installing ECE 1" drop coils and 2 1/2" drop spindles. Need to know if I can use either 71-72 or 73-?? lower control arms? Thanks in advance for the assistance!

Re: Front lower control arms
Either.
The 71-72 arms are steel bushed. The 73-87 arms are rubber bushed. The lower balljoints are the same.

Re: Front lower control arms
71-87 lower ball joints for 1/2 ton trucks are the same part number.
The 71-72 uppers are a different part number that the 73-87 uppers. (67-70 trucks,... both upper and lowers are another number altogether)
