Default Need upper control arm.

Need help from the brotherhood locating the passenger side upper control arm on a 1990 ZR-1. They've been discontinued from GM. I'll put the word out on the other two sites also. Thanks guy's.

I doubt you need a new control arm. GM does not sell individual bushings. Their solution is to sell you a new A-arm.

Get a bushing kit for your car. If you've got one like this, I'm sure the others are not exactly in the greatest shape.

Your right I don't need the whole A arm just one bushing. But they don't sell the A arm bushings alone. If I can find one in decent shape, Three wacks on the ball joint seperater and two 18mm bolts, put the new one on and I'm done. And I can hit the drag strip tommorrow. I plan on rebushing the front end. But wanted to wait till after the hollidays.

Hey rhipsher,
Any progress on the CNC top end porting project?

Thats a great price for an nos brand new/rebuilt arm. No progress yet on the porting. I'm still waiting for a few more bits of info before I machine them.
