Control arm bumpers
Was cleaning off built up grease and gunk from my lower control arms (77 C10) and noticed a slit in both sides out towards the ball joint area. I thought "hmmm....looks like something should go there." Sure enough, the parts manual indicates a rubber bumper resides in the groove.
Both bumpers are present on the upper control arms. Truck is very original. Just curious, is there a reason they could have been removed? Maybe just rotted away? Has anyone else found the lowers missing? Just curious why they may have disappeared. |

Re: Control arm bumpers
While I’m still unsure where the originals went, a new set of Gen-u-ine NOS bumpers showed up to my door. Made from the finest quality rubber coming from a specific cultivar of the Hevea Brasiliensis tree, hand selected by Louis Chevrolet himself, these will undoubtedly last for many years to come. Ok I made that last part up.
