|
|
I've noticed that my rear lower control arms are a bit crooked only on
ones side of the arm, but on both sides of the car.
I was wondering if it was possible to replace them.
I have checked with Summit but didn't find a match.
So i wonder if it was possible to fit an adjustable lower control arm
and if so which one is recommended? _________________ |

If you do a Google search for "1964 Grand Prix Rear Lower Control Arms" you will find a lot of items, including used parts,
One such place is Auto Parts Warehouse at: http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/details/QQPontiacQQGrand_PrixQQHotchkisQQTrailing_ArmQQ19641967QQHOT1804.html?apwcid=productads
This is an entire kit, and not cheap.
Why not remove your old (bent) ones, and have them "boxed"? Any good welder can straighten them out and weld plate to box them completely for strength. The racers do it all the time. Then go ahead and put new bushings, etc. in when you reassemble.
Since you have to disassemble all to replace with new, why not take this route and save a lot of money?
If you want race parts, have you checked with Summit? They have just about anything you can want to go racing with. _________________ PontiacRegistry.com... building the single largest source of Pontiac information, services, and entertainment in the world! |

You are very correct indeed, not cheap at all.
So I think I will do as you suggest and go ahead and box them.
As I did mention, I had checked with Summit but I didn't find a match
on the control arms, and I seems like the same goes for the bushings.
Would rather buy a complete kit instead of buying them individually.
Did find another site the had them in pairs, so might have to go with
those unless someone have a different suggestion? _________________ |
