Lower A-Arms

Postby Monkey Wrench » Fri Feb 03, 2023 11:21 pm

Hey guys, I'm working on a 1975 vega notchback. I'm taking the front end apart to put the s10 spindles, ball joints, and new bushing up and lower. As I was taking the passenger side apart I noticed that the lower A-Arm was bent. Does anyone know of a place to buy a new or used one? Tubular ones are out of the question $$. Thanks

They look to be deep to me. Is there a measurement that I can go by? I live in East Tennessee.

I was going to try and straighten it. But I had some older body guys tell me it would make make it weak.

I still should have 1 set of deep spring pocket lower A-Arms left if you are interested I will dig them up, they have been stripped and partially POR15'd (I ran out of paint while doing them)

Hey CammerJeff, thanks for reaching out on the A-Arms. I think I got mine fixed, I'll post pics of it in a day or two.
