Front x-member upper A-arm shaft studs, where to get?
as you all know, I am pulled the front
cross-member out of my truck to rebuild and clean up. Well I have questions now. First off, I did NOT put the motor back in, I loosened up the lower ball joints and left the nut on with a good sized gap and broke the ball joint free from the spindle with a pickle-fork...anyway, there wasnt much tension and the springs pretty much just fell out on there own (no force)...the truck sits level,and both springs are the same height, left and right anyway...Should I replace these? They are probably original, so who sells GOOD ones, where should I buy? Second big question is, the drivers side upper A-Arm shaft retaining studs looks like they were cross-threaded (yes BOTH of them)...These look like they're pressed in, does anybody sell new ones (they are grade-8, by the marks) PLEASE HELP! Thanks. ------------------ 71 Chevy C-10 SWB Fleetside WAS:307w/3-on-the-tree NOW:350TBI/700R4/3.73 See it at www.prismnet.com/~grzanich

I got Moog repair parts from the local NAPA store when I rebuilt mine.
