Nascar truck arms
 

So I bought a set of Nascar truck arms for my Leaf to coil swap. I am trying to find bushings for them. They measure just a tad over 2 " ID and have clamping bolts. Anyone else use them and if so what bushings did you use. Thanks for the help

Subscribed. I have a line on some myself.

Do you have a picture of the bushing area?

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

how about a pick of the arms

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

You might need to talk to these guys for the right size bushings or also known as 'Johnny Joints'!

The pic with the tape does not show true measurement. It is just over 2" inside and I will have to get better measurements tonight and post better pics and drawings of the inside

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

Thanks Geezer, That looks like it might be what I am looking for.

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

Ok so I am still looking, Currie said no on the Johnny Joint idea.

The set I ordered last year came with spherical bearings slip fit inside and a retaining ring groove. I kept the bearings and made some spacers to fit over the bolt and center the arm in the mounting bracket on the frame. Can't find any pics right now.

I remember reading about others shaving down the standard replacement bushings to fit in there. That could be an option.

Freeze, have you drove it with the mono balls yet ? Just wondering about the upkeep and if you have had any problems with them banging

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

OK what are 'Nascar truck arms'. I did a Google search. Are these used Nascar parts??

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

Yes they are Nascar trailing arms that match the trailing arms on the 67-72 Chevrolet trucks, stronger and less expensive than the stock or aftermarkets

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

Yes. NASCAR cars use a rear suspension that is much like our trailing arm suspension. Provided you get the proper length people sometimes use the NASCAR ones in our trucks.

Earnhardt, I like the name. My Truck arms are new from RCR

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

Nice! I actually have a very good friend who is a chassis engineer at Penskes NASCAR shop. If I ever wanted a pair I'm sure I could get em. But I'd still feel like they were Ford parts LOL

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

There is another way to think about that. If Brad or Joey wins they did it with Chevy parts that made them go fast

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

Hmm good point! And my buddy worked at DEI and EGR before Penske anyway so what the heck.

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

Haven't driven it yet should be finishing the body for paint here in the next month and hopefully be able to drive it by........ July. I will at least have pictures to share in a couple weeks.

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

If they were from the 4 you'd have the fastest 67-72 around:) sorry couldn't resist, I've been a die hard Harvick fan thru thick and thin since dale died. Before that I was a die hard Sr fan.

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

I am a Sr. fan with over 250 die cast 1/24th and a garage full of souviners all Sr. and a few Jr. all before he died. I may have to sell it all to finish this truck

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

Ok next question, Looks like I am going to make some temp bushings until I can find what I need so I can get the rearend set up before sending the frame to Powder Coat. Can someone give me the inside measurement of the CPP crossmember trailing arm mounts. I might start a new thread for this question. Thanks guys

Re: Nascar truck arms
 

They are my dads. He had all the die cast's, banks... and even a Limited Edition Monte Carlo from Dale's Dealership. Dad and I were both die hard Sr. fans! We always went back to the open house at his dealership every year during the Charlotte race. They had a weekend full of stuff to do. With all meals, alcohol, meet and greet included.
