    Hello everyone,
    Have a question about replacing my control arm (trailing arm) bushings.
    I have a total of 4 control arms- (2) short (upper) and (2) long (lower)
    My question is, I believe the replacement bushings are the same for the
    (2) lower, as far as the upper,, are these the same as the lower bushings?
    I am mostly concerned with the upper's that attach to the carrier housing.
    Are these different than the lower arms bushings? (because they are adjustable)
    Also where can I find a replacement CAM bolt?
    Hope this makes sense, any help is greatly appreciated.

    The lower arms use 2 bushings per arm.
    The uppers use 1 bushing per arm (same pn as the lowers). Plus the bushing that presses into the rear housing....the '64 uses a smaller diameter than '65-up and are difficult to find.
    I'm not aware of adjustable components on the '64..... are they aftermarket?

    My service manual shows cam bolt assembly's at the differential end of the upper arms.
    this illustration shows the cam bolts.
