I was wondering what other years will fit. I found a set that fits a 72 elcamino. I've looked at pictures of the malibu arms and the other ones look almost identical. Can anybody shed some light on this subject.

you can measure from middle the cross shaft to the middle of the ball joint, the G body is 8", next if you draw a line perpendicular from the centre line of the cross shaft (between the two ends of the shaft) out past the ball joint the middle of the ball joint needs to be 1.25" forward of that line

I just bought the car recently. I think it has the wrong a arms. It used to be a lowrider and the previous owner took all of it out so I don't want to measure of those.

The tubular a arms that I am looking at buying are on ebay. They say the fit up to 72 elcamino. Ive looked at dozens of pics of those and the gbody ones. Just thought Someone else could help me with these.

I thought you had the A arms....the UB machine tubular A arms are not expensive but they are good as long as you keep them greased. I use them and I think a few others on this forum uses them too
