Lower control arm bush 1961Plymouth Valiant

[crickhollow]

I can't find any NOS lower control arm bushes for my 1961 Plymouth Valiant at a reasonable price. Shipped to Australia they are about AU$150 each.

What other options do I have - use later model control arms, etc?

Thanks

Performance suspension technology. In the vendors list 10% off for Members also. Worth a look at least.

Huh? They list them, and are in stock.
Lower Control Arm Bushing

There's been a few threads on here about issues with the currently avaliable lower control arm bushings. If I recall, there were some issues with the ID of the inserts on the bushings and the OD of the pivot shaft. As much as NOS sounds like a good ieda, depending how old they are the bushings might be dried out. There are also some options of other materials such as delrin that offer some advantages too.

Are they the same as the Aussie R series? Hemi Performance has them.
