I was one of the first people to use the Pontiac arms. I used 2000 Grand Prix arms.

got a part number?

I used GM pn. 10296341. This has been superceded with a new number. If your GM dealer can't find it, drop me an email -I have it at work.

why do u guys use pontiac control arms? what is the advantage to this?

They are adjustable instead of being a piece of flat stamped metal.

Do these control arms necessitate using plugs for the rear brake bias valve? I've got an '89.

How much does it cost for someone to upgrade to these arms? I have a badly bent control arm in back.... I'm talking price-wise for the arms, and any other hardware to do this upgrade. I am also thinking of changing my struts and springs in the springtime...(lower)

It is around $250 for the arms and bushings at the cheapest.

I think I'll be sticking to the stock ones then frown

If I am not mistaken, the Ford prices aren't cheap either. Conincidentally, I am trying to organize a group buy on the GM arms. I didn't post seperately on this forum because I believe its against the rules. If anyone is interested, PM or email me. If you PM me, include your email addy.

I am looking for a vendor that will deal with us. So far I have a tally of over 80 arms or $4,000 worth.

is the rough quote of $250 for both sides and include all necessary hardware/components to install ?

Ian, you have a PM

Actually you can get the arms for less than $195 delivered and I think the bushings are less than $45 delivered. You should consider a reinforced H-brace too at around $40.

my thoughts please don't tell this is another one of your guys gm parts for the sho that u think is good. if is anything like the way the strut bar is then u people are making me waste good money. the strut bar was a total waste. i bet these will be just as bad. sorry. bad idea.

 

[SHOZ123]

i bet these will be just as bad

I'll take that bet. How much?

 

[PaulRuffo]

allSHO94,I have had them on my car for 50K miles and they work very well.

 

[pbshow]

I'll take that bet also. How much?
