Need to replace control arms sooner than expected.

So being on a budget throws the maximum motorsports setup out the window.

The uppers HAVE to be replaced. They're some adjustable something that was on the car when i bought it, no idea of brand. All i know is they're shot.

Lowers need the bushings replaced but by the time i pay for bushings and labor i'll be in it for a decent set of lowers anyway, for the money.

Would anyone happen to have a set of old uppers laying around for cheap?

Or can recommend something that's at least got a rubber bushing on the diff side where it's supposed to and not the poly bushings. I know most aftermarkets are all poly.

On the plus side, it's gonna handle so much better.

I am just running stock uppers with mm lowers. It works awesome. Car hooks up really well too. Save some money by finding a set of stock uppers and buy some good lowers. That's my advice

Thats kinda what i'm hoping for, unfortunately it's sitting in the shop right now for a rear end rebuild and, unaware that the uppers were ruined and had to be replaced i didn't plan on having to search for any.

Stock uppers unless you run a pan hard bar work best.

Unless you are straight line only.

Aftermarket uppers cause more bind and will eat up lowers on a street car.

Anyone happen to have an old set laying around?

I am unfortunately on a bit of a time limit to get this all taken care of.

This is what credit cards are for lol, get the MM uppers. Goodluck OP.

Unfortunately, not an option. If it was, there wouldn't be an issue.

I'm on a budget. I can't swing 250 bucks for stock uppers. I know they're they best option without major work and torque boxes etc.

Like I said, time is my Major limiting factor. With a side of only so much money to work with, im holding off til Monday to order the cOntrol arm stuff but that's the last day I can order parts. If I can't find some reasonable priced uppers then more aftermarket uppers are my only option.

There are a few stock ones for cheap on eBay. I would just buy two and replace the bushings.
