Front or rear Control arms? Fronts you just have to track down used. Rears are available in repro. just like original for around $200/pr. with oem bushings $225 w/polyurethane bushing. Or if you have a welding connection, you can buy conversion brackets that box your control arms for only $35.00! PY and most other Pontiac Catalogs carry all of the above.

I am looking for front control arms.
I have done the welding on my stock rears.

Is there anyone out there with some good used front control arms? (upper/lower?)

Hotchkis makes special upper control arms for '64-'72 A-bodies, but they're not cheap; $400 in the new Summit catalog. You have to get taller spindles (B or F body) to make them work. I believe Global West also offers tubular upper control arms.
