Need Left rear Control Arm (A Frame)
« on: August 22, 2012, 12:27:58 am »
I need a left rear control arm (A Frame) for an 85 Fiero.  I will check the local junk yards if there are any in my area.

Harry, see the Going Out of Business thread below and contact Ashby.  I'd bet he's got what you need.

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Charlie;
I just sent him an Email.  We will see if he has one.
Thanks;

I have a control arm on its way now.  It is a rust free, with good bushings and ball joint.  $40. including shipping.  I could not drive to Atlanta and back for that.  The local junk yard quoted me $65.

I don't know how hard they are to change but you may want to transfer those poly bushings from the old one to the new one.

When it gets here I will try pressing them out to see if they will come out intact.  By the way I used tools that I have not used in over 40 years to get the control arm out,  IE - coil spring compressor, ball joint forks etc. etc.  I am only glad that I still had them.
