Re: New A-arms ! (verskel)
Restored originals??? They just like any other set of A arms with a little sandblasting. Have the bushings been replaced? If not that is another job and expense. You have to apaint them yourself???
I don't know the cost of A arms since I never had to buy any but I would have went with aftermarket for that price.
I might be looking at this wrong?

$549 + shipping :eek: :eek: :eek: Could of rebuilt yours for $400 and free shipping and I rivit the ball joints in like the orignals were. All of your arms couldn't have been bad unless you wrecked the car. I think it's a little steep.

Re: New A-arms ! (norvalwilhelm)
These arms have "new" bushings & ball joints.
I'm needing to 'replace' mine because the bushings cannot seat properly against the shafts 'cause bubba bent up the flanges ! :mad :smash:
After pricing them at Mid-America......the total bill of parts would have been $1200 ! ! ! :eek: :eek: :eek:

$1200. :eek: Thats even worse. Those bent holes couls have been fixed easily. I personally have seen maybe 3 bad upper a-arms. I think you could of saved some $ somewhere else.

Re: New A-arms ! (reidry)
Damn ... I'm getting ready to rip the arms off my '69 and would have sold them to you cheap. I could even have sent them to Van Steel for rebuilding and then on to you!
