Most of your local parts stores should have the parts you need. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

Did one of your ball joints break, or one of the actual A-arms? Ball joints should be easy to come by at a local parts store. If you need an A-arm, I will keep my eyes open for one.

If its a ball joint, the local parts stores will still have them. Just be sure to get it re-aligned after you install. If it was your a-arm, you might still find one in a local (old) bone yard, but they are getting scarce. If you know someone that has a set of Hollander Exchange books, they can look up and tell you what all years and models will fit yours, (you'd probably be suprised), so it can broaden your search. I have a set if you need help. Good luck!

If you need the lower a-arm, and don't have any luck finding a used one, I heard that global west is now making tubular lowers.
Probably pretty expensive, though.
