Quick question, are all 57-59 lower control arms interchangeable? I picked one up and one of the bushing was so loose I tapped it out with a hammer. So I will have to get another.

Thanks,

Mike

Yes, they are interchangeable. Why not just put new bushings in? If you buy an old take-off, it will most likely need bushings also.

K,

I have new bushings for this arm, but the bushing won’t fit tightly into the arm. I would have to weld it in or it will start to rotate when the car goes up and down. I can’t bend the metal down around the new bushing as that is some thick stuff. So off to get a new one on Friday☹️.
