3rd. Gen. Control Arms

[gearjammer]

I found that I have a bent control arm on my 72, I have a friend that has a set of control arms from a 65 Chevelle do you think they will inner change with the Nova suspension

Thanks for the help

Is it the upper or lower Phil? The lower's are available new (stock design), the dirt track guys use those lower arms and they are reproducing them now. You can pick them up cheap at a circle track place. Don't know about the Chevelle interchanging.

i dont think they will interchange with the A body suspension.

Hey John do you think it would be that easy LOL, of course its the upper that is bent right behind the balljoint and I'm sure that the lowers are bent somewhere as well.

Jacob I didnt think so but I had to ask, Jimmy has done a great job on the car. All thats left is the pinion angle adjustment (we are going -5) and some little small patch work around the tubes and then it comes home Sunday after we start it up.

So it looks like I just might have to go with some tubular control arms, Darn

I believe you can swap parts with 64-72 chevelle,cutlass,tempest,GTO for all the front end stuff. I had a set of disc brakes on my 65 Chevelle from a 72 Olds Cutlass and all the rest of the parts looked identical.
