Title: Control arm bushings
Post by: 1983C30BOR on July 25, 2022, 05:56:53 pm

Hi, I have a 1983 Chevy C30 needing control arm bushings.  I can only find the bushings installed in new control arms…

On a C30, they're not so much "bushings" like the rubber units on lighter trucks.  They are actually serviced as "shaft kits", metal bushings and cross-shafts together.

Moog still makes the lowers K6147, but has discontinued the uppers.  Mevotech makes them, but I'd try and find the old Moog units first: K6135.

I looked at both of the items numbers you listed but I’m not seeing the bushings, am I missing something?

Super Steer Has the K6135! A few other places have it as well!
