Front A-Arm Bushings
I want to replace the A-Arm bushings on an '84 front end. A couple of questions - Any "best practices" about changing these bushings? Where can I get a good price on a set of these bushings. They cost a lot at the GM dealer.

Past: '05 Sierra 4x4 - Had 270,000 KM and running well when it was written-off by a stop sign runner. '94 F-150 from the "F word" company. I'll admit it...good truck. Sold what was left of it for $800 to a guy who came to pick it up at 11:00 PM with cash in hand. Hmm. '79 Sierra Grande (Black) organ donor - perfect rebuildable 4-bolt 350 and a good TH350.

Truck is gone, wife isn't. Nuff said. |

I bought mine at NAPA. I have enough to do both upper a-arms, sitting here new in the box if you need them. I'll give you a great price on them. (I am in BC)
As for changing them, I recommend burning the hell out of the rubber as mine were seized onto the shafts and were a real b!tch to get out. I never want to go through that again! Reid
