I am trying to avoid going to the dealer for C6 front control arms, spindles and bearing carriers to save some money on MotiV8r. I have called 4 or 5 Corvette salvage yards without luck.

Any chance you have seen one that hasn't had the front end wiped out?

If you hope on Corvetteforums.com search out Gene Culley. He might be able to get you the gm fresh parts at a price that would surprise you.

Worth checking into.

c5 stuff is same, buy it, and call it c6, however gm does have different part numbers for the stuff, and c6 is cheaper thru dealer then c5. but it all is the same dimensions, mounts, etc

Let us know what you come up with. I've been going through GM parts direct.

I've been told, C6 bushings and balljoints are upgraded (note: last longer). But yes, are the same.
