Control arms
Can anyone tell me a good place to get replacement front upper control arms for a decent price? Also, I remember seeing a place on here that rebuilds abs control modules to get rid of the abs/traction/AH lights but I can't remember who it was, can you guys help me out?
Thanks for your help,
Daniel

ABS fixer...I think it's on fleabay
You're just gonna have to shop for the control arms..there isn't some secret place with oem control arms for these things.
Check the FS section here for a part out car, auction sites or you can always just get a new one through Gene...I don't know how much they cost but might not be too bad new seeing how many older muscle cars are using these now on the newer subframes that they're building(I would assume this is because of ease of getting replacements/price along with performance)

It's common problem. I would just replace the upper "A" arms and not the rest of the bushings with the VBP kit.
The VBP kit locks in the bushings so they don't move unlike the stock ones.

If your going to have the front end apart for bushing replacement, I AGREE!!! Up grade to poly ZIP Produts also have a good kit. Make sure to get the car re-aligned after the bushing replacement
