Thanks for the info guys

Are the control arm bushings in those arms replaceable ? Sounds maybe like a crazy idea but if say those poly bushings are the same size as a stock control arm bushing I could just put stock style bushings in?

Ie basically at this point by the control arms for the arms themselves and swap out all the cheap hardware/bushings

I'm currently dealing with these atm for my 68 GTO.

Overall quality of the weldments for uppers and lowers seems good. Ball joints don't look terrible but I'm replacing mine anyways.

The bushing for the uppers are sloppy though. They are comprised of an aluminum sleeve with a nylon insert. The sleeve should be a press fit into the arms, but mine have around .008" clearance. I'll be machining new aluminum sleeves oversize to take up the slop to the arm and reusing the nylon bushing.

Lowers don't seem to have the same issue and seem fine.

Alternatively, one could knurl the OD of the bushings and use retaining compound to secure them in place.

Thanks for the info - I think it’s a lot of effort to swap that all over for me - ended up finding a stock set of lower control arms that I’ll disassemble and change out the bushings for new rubber.

Carefully check the area around the lower ball joint for cracks in the metal.
