I'm swapping B-body disc brake spindles onto my 70 Duster so that I can use the large bolt-pattern discs. I'm told I need to install upper control arms from a '73-'76 disc-brake A-body, as well as get new lower balljoints. I've been searching my local junkyards for a set of the described control arms for quite a while with no results. I found the below on ebay that seemed reasonably priced. I'm sure they're Chinese, but will they work OK? The used ones I see on ebay seem to be priced at $175 for the bare arms only (or with used bushings/balljoints). That seems expensive for used parts.

Somebody bought the Ebay ones.Said they were decent for the price.I doubt the ball joints would be top quality but should last fro a while.Rocky

ANY 73-76 A body should have the large ball joint upper control arm, disc or drum makes NO difference. I see them sell on the webboards for $75/set, give or take a few $'s.
You'll need the 73 and up A body lower ball joints also. There is only 1 lower ball joint type for all 73-76 A's.

I remember searching either on here or forabodies that a couple people had tried them and they were really bad. I think they were thinner than stock and one of the ball joint threads stripped out. I just peiced together a used set off ebay that werent perfect but separately they were cheaper than a set.
