What website sells control arms? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SuperCheyenne72 · 01-02-2004, 01:03 PM

Does anyone know what website would sell me an actual replacement driver side lower A-arm?

After years of negligence, my driver side lower control arm rod has eaten through the front bushing so bad that it has made a bigger hole into the A-arm itself. I was told I would need a new A-arm (along with control arm rod, bushing and ball joints) but they say that GM doesn't make them anymore. Where can I turn to?

An option was to hit the junk yards, but I'd rather just get a new one and be done with it... unless anyone knows of any great deal yards here in Dallas.

I bought a used one from Mothertruckers. I remember seeing new ones some where but they where big $. If I find the link for the new ones I will post it for you.

I had to replace my drivers side lower for elongated shaft hole after bushing failure also. I found a used cleaned up perfectly and got one for $45 from Bill O'Grady at Vintage Chevy Trucks, Freemont, CA. 510-651-5874.

When I did this lower arm shaft and arm, I also replaced every front end part on the 72 C20 with Moog parts and found the prices best at the time from http://www.expressautoparts.com/
I am sure I have all the part numbers if anyone needs them.

Hey guys thanks for all the help, I knew I could count on this board to pull through...

HeavyK20:
Thanks for the link, $35 for a used A-arm, can't beat that, gonna call them first to see if one's avail. I'm gonna save their site too, reminds me of a junk yard gone high-tech and online.

jamis:
That site has everything, gonna save that link too, thanks.... but man they sure are a bit pricey...

6772king:
could you post a picture of it? Or email it to me @ chicoag@joimail.com
Is it complete with control shaft/rod and bushings? Are the bushings in good shape still? I might take you up on that deal.
