93 C1500 Upper Control Arm Question
I have a 93 2wd C1500 with a Fabtech 4" lift... the truck has tubular upper control arms and its time to replace the bushings. I email the below pic to Fabtech and it isnt a Fabtech product so I dont know what brand it is... I ask because I dont know what size bushing to get to replace them... the factory had 41 or 43mm bushings so, not sure if these are one of those or totally different. Chasing down the brand will at least get me to the vendor to ask the question before I have to just buy bushings and do it trial and error style...
Any info or advise will help!

Re: 93 C1500 Upper Control Arm Question
Good advice Nate, thanks. D you know if those bushings are pressed in or if I can just do it myself?

Re: 93 C1500 Upper Control Arm Question
Bought some stock bushing and they're different. Fabtech said they aren't there's... Can't find any that look like this on the Internet anywhere?!?!?!

Re: 93 C1500 Upper Control Arm Question
They shouldn't be "pressed" in.... but are probably a tight fit. Might take a lot of patience and the right combination of strength and foul language to remove them.

Looking good.
That's how I want my truck to look when the extra lift is complete. Joe |
