A-arm question and torsion bar question - 02/16/09 04:17 PM
I have a 68 dodge charger that needs A-arms as the old ones seem to be to heavily rusted to reuse. Will all 66-70 A-arms off a B-body work. And where are some good places to buy a used set.
Also need a good place that sells high quality torsion bars at a bargin price.
Thanks in advance.

if you are ok with aftermarket parts,
www.firmfeel.com makes a great set of tubular upper control arms, loaded with busings, they are a better value than rebuilding the original pieces IMO

$350 seems very expensive. Espo quoted me $50 for the upper ball joints and the a-arm bushings for both a-arms.

the 350 is for the arms, ball joint and bushings.

I know, $299 is the price for both a-arms without bushings and ball joints. that is still expensive, unless used a-arms are over $100. Then I might think about buying the tubular ones.
I will check out wildcat's prices.

I've got a set of upper control arms from a '70 Challenger. I'm not sure they would fit, if you're interested, PM me. Also, a set of OE torsion bars. Parts are from a California 318 car and in good shape.
If you're looking for new T bars, try Firm Feel or Mancini.
