Front Upper control arm help Please!

[zombiekiller]

Dave,

Could you build your own?

Can you post a picture? Maybe you can repurpose another UCA. What is the bolt spacing on the cross shaft?

I'll snap a picture in the morning. I have one of them pulled off and in front of the car.

I am sure that I could build my own without too much trouble. I just dont have the time in the next few weeks to pretty much engineer new arms. If i'm going to make my own, i'd like to take my time. I would love the chance to be lazt and just buy them.

Not to mention , my fab tools are in storage in delaware.

I talked to my bud with the Ford parts Dave, and he's going to look in his warehouse sometime during the week when he goes there. He thought he had a set from a 72 Torino. I'll PM ya when I find out from him.

Awesome. Thanks! they would need to be from a car built after march. pre-march are the old style , which tons of companies make aftermarket, but dont fit.

I even tried to track down some old nascar arms, no dice.

I ordered my cross shafts so when they come in, i'll make sure that they fit, then i'll weld up the cracks at my buddies shop to get my junk mobile. Before I can really trust it, i'm going to have to come up with a solution though. Maybe after I get it moved and can tear it down again, i'll send the arms to someone and have them fab something for me. The crazy thing is that most of the ford suspensions from this era are the same arm/rod/spring/shock design, just slightly different dimensions. I'm still dumbfounded that no one makes anything.

I had to get cross shafts because The bolts had started to walk at some point, so some dummy just tightened them and cross threaded them. I tried to use a die to fix the threads, but it looked ugly and i didnt trust them, even just to move the car. I stupidly pressed in the new bushings before i checked the arms from cracks and before I made my attempt to chase the threads, so now, if i want to use my nice new poly bushings, i need to press them back out and hope that i dont screw up the shells.

here's some pics that i stole from ebay.
