Tech tip on the Rear Lower Control Arm (Inserts).

[SteveGB21]

I found out today that the inserts for the '64-'72 GM A-Body (Chevelle/SS; LeMans/Tempest/GTO; Cutlass/F-85/442; Skylark/Special/GS) on the lower rear control arms will also fit the '82-'02 F-Body. Just that if you only use your car as a daily driver, and don't need any fancy arms, this is a MUCH cheaper alternative.

Now, if I find an insert for the panhard bar.

The ones.

Firebird GT,

I couldn't access the links, since I don't have an account setup with 3rd Gen F-Bodies. But, here's a pic.

Those are not the reinforcements that came on the 3rd Gen Z28 - which is the same LCA as ours.

An explanation.

Firebird GT,

These are for the '64-'72 GM A-Body (Chevelle/SS; LeMans/Tempest/GTO; Cutlass/F-85/442, and the Skylark/Special/GS). Pretty sure you've heard of these cars. I also own a 1970 Pontiac LeMans, and I bought these inserts first for the LeMans, and then for the 2002 Pontiac Firebird, and trial fitted them. They do fit. I also noticed the rear lower control arms have holes, since the '64-'72 A Body have the sway bar on the rear lower control arms. Same with the '69-'72 G Body, as well as the '73-'77 A & G Bodies, and the '78-'87 G Bodies/'78-'84 A Bodies. A tech tip that I only knew one side on, but not on that car. Hope this helps.
