i recently replaced the upper control arm shaft in my 72 cheyenne. the kit came with everything but the large washers that go between the endcaps and the a arm. where might i find these and what size is the hole in the washer?

If you still have the steel bushings, there should be no washer tween the bushing & the arm.....crazyL

there were no steel bushings in the kit or on the control arms to begin with. it was just endcaps, rubber grommets that slid on to the shaft, and the shaft its self.
