    ISO Upper Control Arm Mounts

    Does anyone have a source for replacement upper control arm mounts? Mine have been walked through and either I am not typing in the correct search criteria or they do not exist. I am looking for something more like stock as opposed to performance ($)

    Are you asking about the upper control arm bushings that press into the top of the differential housing?

    No I am looking for the bracket attached to the chassis where the upper control arms mount. The bolt "walked" out of the bracket and now it needs to be cut off and replaced. So far I am looking at cutting one off of a donor car from the JY but its pretty difficult to get under most of the JY cars. I figured that there would be an aftermarket one, but all I have found are for SN95's and up, which appear to be bolt on but the fox bodies are all spot welded to the chassis.

    It sounds like you need two things.

    1. A Pick-your-Part with a donor fox body car.
    2. A battery powered Sawzall.

    Still Looking?

    I have a T boned SVO with just the front half left that I will scrap after all of the worthwhile components are removed. If you can send a picture of what it is you need I can try to recover it or them if you need both sides. PM me and I can provide e-mail to send photos unless someone wants to post them on this thread.
