HELP 81 Regal upper and lower control arms

[mrzxvwy]

Hello, im looking for stock front upper and lower control arms for a 1981 Regal, nobody list them, I can find front uppers for a 1985 and up, but no front lowers. Does anybody know for sure if the S-10 front upper and lowers will work on a 1981 Regal ?. Im seeing a lot of posts that say 78-88 G-body front control arms and the S-10's are all the same, I can get the S-10 control arms but I cant find any front control arms listed for anything pre 1985 G-body which makes me kinda wonder that if they are all the same why dont they list all front control arms as fitting 78-88 G-body models in the parts catalog lookup, ya know

Thanks for any help

Really the only difference with the S10 lower A-Arms is they use a 14mm bolt in the front bushing while the G-Body uses 12mm.

Try gbodyparts.com for factory arms as well.

I hope that helps,
Ryan

Thanks for the info, I just went ahead and bit the bullet and got
The upper/lower control arms from spohn. It was the lower that was
The problem child and nobody had any of those, so they just arrived today
, guess I'll go put em on

heres where im at now, I had to cut both of the back lower control arm bolts off to remove the control arm, headers were in the way of the bolts coming out, fun, fun, fun.
Lucky for me Spohn has the mounting hardware to.

Check the bolts for the lowers with the mounting hardware you got. They may be 1/2" so you'll have to open up the holes on the lower control arm bracket if they are
