Default Upper Control Arms Questions / Camaro ???

Wanting to learn if 1st Gen Camaro Upper Control Arm Bushings are the SAME AS 1970
Camaro.

Heartbeat City show a reproduction (I wasnt able to copy the image) bushing that replicates
3711826 or 401267.....which is different than the 1970 3975588 #.....

Still wanting to know specs of 69 and 70 or get factual info if fitment is the same ????

I am seeking 4 x 1970 Camaro Upper Control Arm Bushings.....that are OEM/NOS or LOOK LIKE OEM

Please write [email protected]

Chuck,

Just based on aftermarket catalog listings, they differ from 1st gen to 2nd.

Dave, Are you writing there are NOS/GM Bushings on EBAY ??? How many pieces (need 4)

The MOOG offering looks GOOD with protruding rubber ...Yes ???

I'm only seeing two ads on EBAY for one pc (each ad)

Hoping the MOOG is acceptable for LEGENDS Judging

Here

https://www.ebay.com/itm/26565574867...mis&media=COPY
He has 5 for sale.

A few others have singles.

The MOOG ones are pretty good and the rubber is fresh, not twenty years old.

Not sure how judges will look at them. No exposed numbers once assembled.

Dave, Upon Yours and Ron Liebert's suggestions, Ive already ordered 4 of the MOOG Bushings for under $20 from AMZN Prime.....I'll try to post pics for others to see...

Do you have any leads on 1970-7?? Correct Appearing NOS/GM UPPER BALL JOINTS ???

Thank You Jeffs Chevelle

I do not on the ball joints. I do recall that the GM 71-72 units are nearly identical and maybe the only difference was the number on the dust boot. The metal above the a-arm looked identical. Might check the GMWIKI for the numbers and Google them. Nastyz had some good threads on this. The real tough ones to find for me were the tabbed lower ball joints.
