Anotherr upper control arm ?

Searcged couldn't find it. Are the shafts and ucl's threaded? They look like they have threads on them and I can only get the shaft ends on about half way with a breaker bar. I had the arms powder coated and they didn't tape off the inside of the holes so I think that is the problem. I might have to wire wheel the opening that the ends go into.

If you are using stock '63-'72 arm, then yes they are threaded both internal and external. If you have powder coating in the threaded part of the arm, you'll need to clean that out or you might have some problems getting it to thread on. Make sure your shafts are centered on the arms.

Yeah they are stock. I wish I would have told them to tape off the hole. Oh well live and learn. Good thing I have a bunch of dremel wire wheels and time.
