Control arm bushings
Well it is time for some front end work on my old work truck. I got new Moog ball joints both upper and lower. It seems my control arm bushings are shot as well
It. Looks like replacements are rubber and come with the shafts. Have any of you replaced these and what brand do you recommend or recommend avoiding? Does anyone have a kitwith urathane or better bushings? I have urathane bushings for the rear just not installed yet. L as stated summer was the first I didn't work this olds gear in the ten plus years I have owned it. I really miss driving it and don't want to miss another season . It is undoubtedly the best and most comfortable truck I have ever had but unsafe until front end is rebuilt. Thanks for your input, and I remember from years ago when I was a regular here you all like pics so I'',LL attach one. Thanks again , Jim[

Re: Control arm bushings
Try this:
MOOG K6098 Upper MOOG K6147 Lower If looking on Rockauto, look under "control arm shaft", these are for the front. If your looking under "control arm bushing", then those are for the rear trailing arms. |
