These are a pair of rebuilt lower control arms with sway bar mount tabs on them that are used on 1973-76 A-body cars such as Duster, Dart, Demon, Valiant, Scamp.

I recently found this pair on a 1973 Dodge Dart, but officially are for any A body car using a sway bar, from the 1973 model year until the 1976 model year. The sway bar mount tab is in a different location on the 72 and earlier A body cars.

Sway bar tabbed lower control arms are getting to be pretty hard to find, in this day and age.

These control arms will fit and work, on any A body car from 1962 until the 1976 model year. It's where the sway bar mount tab is located on the LCA, that make them year specific to the A body line of cars.

I have cleaned these control arms of 48 years of grease and grime, plus they have been cleaned of all the surface rust in a product called Evaporust. You finish painting them with whatever texture, and color of paint that you prefer.

These are one of the better pairs of lower control arms with tabs on them, that i have come across, and rebuilt for re-sale. You can't go wrong starting out with parts from California, Nevada, Arizona, out here in the western states.

The rubber rebound bumpers were shot, and i had to replace them. The bushings alone cost me near $35.00, which are from a firm named Proforged,rebound bumpers $18.00. So if you factor in what it took to bust these LCA's off the car in the wrecking yard, then paying for them, buying the bushings, bumpers, doing the press work on the bushings, i need to see $300.00 for these parts. If you don't know how to rebuild these lower control arms it can be a pain in the butt to get them done. I have a shop hydraulic press, and the factory tools to get these done correctly. Shop labor rates are $125.00 + an hour where i'm at, and if i charged you 1/2 that it would be low. I have already done all the hard, dirty work for you. This is what i do as a retired professional auto mechanic, to help pay the bills in this life on planet earth, and to support my other hobbies, and buying other things here on eBay. I can't pay my rent, go to the gas station, or grocery store, working for free, or minimum wages.

See my other auctions, as i have other lower control arms, for more of the Mopar body styles.

Shipping will be thru FEDEX, with insurance on the package, and a signature delivery at your end.
For payment i accept Pay Pal.
No fee if you pay thru friends or family, or if paid thru goods & services, their fee will be added onto the total.
Your choice, how you want to pay me.

Serious buyers, send me a message and i will get back to you with my payment information.
Thank's a lot.

FYI
I'm not going to be doing any more rebuilding of lower control arms, or suspension parts, due to health issues, and a worn out human body of mine.
What i have left in my inventory of LCA's, will be my last ones, to sell.

Aren't these the lower control arms preferred when doing a front wheel disc conversion on a 67 and up A body?
They have the larger ball joint hole, plus the sway bar tab, preferable for the big block tourque?

No sir. Ball joint taper is the same as all the other A-body lower control arms and the ‘73-76 sway bar tabs will not work with a factory ‘67-72 sway bar.

The ‘73+ tab location will work with the Hellwig 55917 front sway bar for 67-72 cars and the 67-72 Hotchkis sway bar though. But not the factory 67-72 bars or any 67-72 front sway bar that uses the factory tab location for those years.

Only the upper control arms got a larger ball joint taper 73+. The lowers were all the same with the exception of the sway bar tab locations.

And great work as always Jim, those are some good looking LCA’s. :thumbsup:
