Re: Lower Arms Help
The bushings are different. The 67-72's used solid, rubber lined 'bushings' & 73-ups use the 'car style' rubbers bushings. Also, because they came standard w/discs, the later arms use larger diameter u-bolts to secure the lower a-arm shaft to the crossmember. There's slight differences w/the bumpstops too,
Differences aside, they will interchange.
