GREETINGS!
Got a little wobble in my left front tire yesterday during braking on my 70 Chevy longbed yesterday, so I pulled the left front tire. I expected to find a worn ball joint, but in stead found a hogged out upper control arm. It was completely seperated from the cross shaft nut, allowing the control arm to flop about.
We are short on junk yards in the area. I checked the LMC cataloug and see that they sell repro's for $135.00. I know how many of you feel about LMC, and wonder if there is another place I can get one, maybe for a better price? (Good timing right before Christmas, eh?)

THANKS IN ADVANCE.
