The '70 SS I bought in '73 had solid arms with no bushings and no provision to grease anything. The holes in the diff and frame brackets were pounded out almost twice the size from the PO racing it. I had to get new, original, arms from the dealer, center everything with a tape and weld washers on all the brackets to keep it in place.

I am keeping things very close to stock, Just going to change to Hotchkiss control arms that look stock (I’ll take off the silly stickers) but are more rigid than my original FE2 boxed lowers and open uppers.

PS: even though Al Stager ordered FE2 rear suspension it didn’t come with the rear lower frame braces so I added those…. I am confident they also help prevent wheel hop by connecting and triangulating between upper and lower rear control arms.
