: 67 upper A arm bumpers?

When I took off the upper A arms from my 67, there were no bumpers. The PST front end kit came with 2 extra bumpers besides the lower A arm ones. Are the upper A arms suppose to have bumpers, and if so do they go in the hole in the frame that the upper A arms were sitting on?

Quick response appreciated, I'm trying to put back together today.

The poly bumper is usually flat and goes under the upper A arm. The upper A arm will hit the bumper when you're pulling the wheels :D

My '68 El Camino was missing the upper bumpers. It was also jacked up with spring spacers when I bought it.

The upper control arms hit the frame so many times they had distorted and cracked. It was very ugly.

You want the rubber bumpers in place!
