control arm differences?
whats the difference from a pre 71 front control arm compaired to a 71-72 control arm? i know 71 and 72 was disk front but i didnt know the control arms were differnt and as i look up part numbers and products there is a split at 70-71. if someone could shine the light on this for me that would be great
Thanks 71Rat

Re: control arm differences?
The steering stops differ on the 70 & older lower a arms You can use the older arms with disc spindles, just use the ball joints/tierods for the year of the spindle.
