Title: Need UCA asap
Post by: tach_abrader on April 19, 2004, 04:00:46 pm
Hey, I have my car in at my shop to get aligned, and they tell me my Drivers side upper control arm is bent.  Does anyone have an extra one on their parts car or wherever that I could get off them in the next couple days?  I'll be in the area and can pick up/take it off, but if someone has one thats off and can ship it that would be best.  Preferably one that has the bushings intact, I'll probably need the outer sleeves for the poly bushings.  Might have to cut through the bushing and all to get the arm off :(

Thanks, email me or PM me if you can help!

Brad

Assuming that you mean a pre-88?  You didn't say.   :)

Check with FieroBUZZ.  There is a ('85 ?) parts car in his driveway at the moment, but may not be there for much longer.

No you don't.  The fastest way to snag a UCA from a parts car is with a sawzall.  A carefully handled sawzall can cut through the pivot bolt at the gap between the UCA and the upper spring perch.  You lose the pivot bolt, and will likely chew up any caster washers which are there, but you still get what you came for.   ;D

I believe there's an 84 at G&L-824-4985. Or an 85 at Union 800-263-3595...
