You can buy new bushing an have a shop put them in if you don't have the means or as you know but new arms w/ ball joints - rock auto has them too.
Your right. Just seen rock auto. $68 each for uppers. But no lowers available...

Buying new is better and cheaper.not to mention your old arms may have stress cracks in them like most do.

No need to clean or paint just unbolt old and pop on new

Lower ones are 2 WD S-10 parts. Bigger bushing holes on the lowers from what I understand requiring you to open up your mount holes to 1/2" is my understanding. That's why you won't find them in the Cutlass sections. But they're the same arms as G-body. Unless you wanted to change bushings out. But then I'd just buy parts for your existing arms if I were going to do that.

Find them wherever you can get them the cheapest.

Thanks for the part #s. Makes me nervous buying parts and not knowing if they're the right ones. Other people have used these lower arms?

Maybe. I don't know. I have NOS GM ones, but if I were going to buy new ones now, I'd get these.

9/16ths for s10 1/2 for most aftermarket g body stuff. Our frames are so close to 1/2 an old rust drill bit will work just fine.

Got a small list together. But what's up with the lower arms? Why do they look so different and they say the fit my car?

I used these exact numbers on my car and no issues what so ever. just buy new bolts for the lowers.
