cross shafts for upper control arm should be the same 64-72 A-body and readily available from moog in both standard and problem solver offset arms. also several aftermarket performance peices out there, check global west as one of many.

Thanks Dennis, I will check it out I need straight ones. I have offset ones now and my right front wheel tips in a little at the top since I lowered the car. I also have way to manny shims in the front end.........Ralph

If '64-'72 are the same, we have a set that have been powdercoated black, plus some other front suspension parts in the Member Classifieds.

Otherwise, keep searching for good ones. If you noticed in one of our posts, the MOOG ones we were going to used looked like junk, which was very disappointing, as the MOOG Ball Joints we bought looked "Super".

We have no idea if Global West or Hotchkis will sell cross shafts seperately, as we have heard they only make enough for their control arms.

Just an observation from you comment about shims. The offset control arms are supposed to help reduce the number of shims allowing more camber adjustment. It's possible you have one shaft installed wrong. There is a note stamped on a Moog shaft saying wheel side out.

Nice looking ride.

Hey guys thanks for the info, Is it possible to turn an ofset shaft around and use it the other way?..........Ralph....... smile.gif

Yeah Ralph, I was going to suggest turning around the offset shafts before I saw your question.
