Upper or Lower Rear Control Arms
« on: January 20 2013, 08:56:09 PM »
4-5 yrs ago I bo't what I thought was a pr of boxed stock lower control arms...I since sold my GN w/o installing same.  I was recently told, however that they were not LCAs but Upper CAs...Could someone please give me the dimension (length eye-to-eye) of LCAs so I can determine what I really have.  As they're now buried in my stg shed, I can't provide a quick measurement of same...
 
I would now like to sell them--but don't want to advertise inappropriatel y...Thx

lowers have two bushings per arm  are 19.25"  center of bushing to center of bushing   

uppers are much shorter and only have one bushing, the other end is wider and goes over the  bushing that is installed in the axle ear

OK, based on length (11" eye-2-eye) etc., these are definitely UCA's instead of LCA's. I'll now advertise as such--ANY INTEREST IN PURCHASE out there??. I'll list them appropriately in "stuff for sale".
Thx for ID help  :cheers:   ,,, pix attached for reference.
