WTB '76 DeVille Right Upper A-arm

[mgbeda]

I was able to find an NOS left one, now I'd like a right one to match.

The shop manual says the only way to replace the upper ball joint is to replace the whole A-arm, though I think that's not really true.  If I can't get a complete assembly I guess I'm in the market for the ball joint, spindle, and bushings.   And a machine shop.

Thanks,

Unless the upper control arm is bent or otherwise damaged, both the ball joint and the bushings are available through Moog, AC Delco, or other suppliers.  Any GOOD front end shop can handle the R & R.

I took my arms out. Took them to the shop with the bushings and ball joints. They put the arms in the cleaning tank for me. Resprayed and pressed the new ball joints and bushing in. Very nice job. Makes a HUGE difference in how the car drives and feels. Definitely worth doing

MOOG is a very good brand. Shop did tell me they had a hell of a time pressing in some of the bushings. Apparently MOOG bushings can be tight

Yeah, most likely I'll have to get the existing upper arm "rebuilt" with new bushings and ball joint.

But, since I have time, I am still looking for a right hand upper A arm factory replacement assembly.  So if any one has any leads on getting one of these I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks,
