    desertrat_1960 DIE !!! RICE BOY...ZERRP!

    Hey folks , Steve here . Things are REAL slow on the 64' . It's all apart and I've got about 90% of the parts for the suspension / Engine and trans .
    My lower rear control arms have No bolt holes for the Sway Bar .
    Could someone get me measurements from the end fo the control to the first and second holes , also , laid flat facing up from the the bench surface (whatever) to the center of the sway bar holes .
    I don't have the money for a pair so I need to make due for now . The help will be greatly appreciated .

    Steve, I don't have the measurements you need, but in case you didn't know, you need to have the braced/boxed control arms for swaybar installation. HTH

    A-body Rear Lower Control Arms

    Hey D , Thanks ,
    I made a set for my 72' using 2 1/2" x 1/8" Flat Stock and the heavy Alternator Bushings I'd saved for a rainy day . They came out great . Had to sell it 80% done when we moved here to Missouri .So I'm at it again with my 64' Lark . I'm getting ready to sand blast and get this thing moving in the right direction ! I have all the suspension except the ball joints . So painting and assembling is close .

    Thanks again,
    Steve

    Rear Lower C/Arms

    Thanks "Special" !!! that was [B]mighty[/B] neighborly of you to pull them out for my Raggedy Arse :TU:
    Sure feel free ! Put them in . I think you'll be needing them !
    Thanks for the help !
    One thing , I'm not clear on though (actually alot of things are unclear) ,but
    I totally get the spacing between the Hole Centers being 6" but what I don't get is how far back from the center of the front bushing to the center of the
    most forward Hole Center ,looking at the Arm from the side .
    Sorry I lost my road map and i can't find my arse !!!!!!!!!!!!!
