After thinking about the different ways to go here I took a look at my original A arms again. My theme has been to keep the car stock looking so tubular an arms are not what I want for a look. My originals are quite rough looking from pitting. So I elected to buy new a arms from restoparts opg. They have the oval/ round rubber bushings in them already with ball joints. Not sure the quality on these arms exactly but I’ve bought some restoparts stuff before and compared them to other aftermarket companies and their stuff looked better. I did consider buying a harbor freight press but just figured I’d get a better looking A arm and the bushings are already installed. Hopefully the quality will be good. Spent more money than I had intended which is the way it usually goes. The arms will be here next week. If everything looks ok I will put them in myself in the spring when it warms back up. I replaced front coil springs on my old drag car back in the day so I feel ok about doing it myself.

I do now have a set of energy suspensions poly bushings I got off eBay that will probably sit around until I sell them or whatever.
