Re: Front suspension
Control arm bushings & shafts are different, wont fit. Why not just buy 72 stuff?

Re: Front suspension
If your dead set on Poly... you'll need 73 & up control arms then.
Plenty of guys bagg'n those years w/strong arm kits, removing stock, run a "wanted" ad on the parts forum. Last edited by Cyclone; 12-14-2008 at 11:30 PM. |

Re: Front suspension
There's no good reason to switch around your arms just for poly bushings. The stock earlier model steel bushings offer better handling and less deflection than poly ever could.
