Control arm Bushing repair kits and Ball joint replacement INFO!
Hi guys/gals, I am lowering my 71' swb and have the rear springs in place. When it came to changing out my old front spindals for the new 2.5" ECE drop spindals, I just couldn't see myself installing new pretty drop spindals on dirty old greased up control arms. As I looked closer the ball joint bushing had holes in them as did the control arm bushings. Well my research started with asking here on the board if these parts were available??? As always you guys helped out and directed me to the various parts stores. I really did not want to use cheap or lousy no name brand parts, so i decided TRW was the way I wanted to go. Here is the TRW part numbers for anyone whom might want to do this upgrade:
TRW Lower Ball Joint #10264, TRW Upper Ball Joint #10263, TRW Upper Control Arm Rebuild Kit #13167A, TRW Lower Control Arm Rebuild Kit #13168A Now if you go to Advance Auto Parts which carries TRW parts you are going to pay some serious bucks, 90 bucks plus for the Upper ball joint. I found all these parts with the exact same part numbers at almost 1/2 the price of Advance Auto Parts online at TEAM AUTO Parts, and they do FREE shipping!!!! Here is a link to their web site: http://www.teamautoparts.com/?x=43&y=8 Just giving back to the best INFO source for Chevy trucks!!! You guys/gals ROCK, just like our trucks!!!
