Thread: 1971-76 Big Car ( B-, C- and E-body ) rear control arms

    1971-76 Big Car ( B-, C- and E-body ) rear control arms







    the upper arm is 11" from center to center. it's a bit more involved than the lower arm. the wide end is 2 7/8" across the inside and only 1 3/16" across the bushing end.

    lower is 22", just as in Bob's fabrication project:

    say Bob, you never do mention a spec for the overall length of the piece of stock you use for each control arm.

    what would that be, 24"?

    It would look like I allowed about 1/2" beyond the bushing.
