Title: Upper and lower A Arm stuff.
Post by: exilous on May 12, 2009, 06:14:20 pm

Im going to be diving into my front end soon to rebuild that on my donor front end cause its in better shape than the one currently in my truck. its a c30. And I've looked through a bunch of catalogs and such for replacement bushings for the A-Arms but everything says for either half ton or 3/4 ton. can i use the 3/4 ton bushings? Will it be able to handle it? I just dont want to put it all together with 3/4 ton stuff and have to tear it apart later on down the line. What do you all think or is there a place that actually sells the one ton front end stuff that i just dont know about?

3/4 ton and 1 ton use the same control arm bushings.

Any parts store (like NAPA) will have the parts to replace a C30.  I just had my C3500 crew cab frontend rebuilt about 2 months ago.

i dont remember who it was off the top of my head but one guy i worked with awhile back told me something about A-arm parts fo rthe c30s was hard to get or you can't get anymore i don't remember what it was for some reason i must have thought it was the bushings i dont know.maybe it was just false info.
