Hi my 76 Plymouth fury coupe front upper control arms have both almost rotted out and I need new ones but can’t find any
 
Is that car a B-body or a full size C-body? Where is hialeah
 
You could try someone that is a NOS dealer that may have new ones. Or look up Wild Cat Auto Wreckers in Oregon.
Massive all Mopar yard. I'm sure they will have what you need.
 
If the upper control arms are rotted out you'd better take a screwdriver and see how the torsion bar cross-member is doing.
You might be wasting your time and money if one of the bars breaks loose.
 
Should be the same 73-79 except for screw in vs press in ball joint.

IIRC that was screw in in 73 and part of 74 and press in thereafter.

Show us a pic if you can.

I know American Auto salvage in De Bary has a 75-78 B body Fury but I don't think they pull parts.

I had a 77 fury and the upper ball joints were threaded.
 
Put an ad up in that section.

I bet one or more members have one.

Interesting.

More fuel for that discussion.

Just something the OP needs to be aware of.

Either will work as the geometry is the same.

...I'd personally try to keep both sides the same, though.

There's been horror stories even on FxBO of people pressing out thread in BJs and ruining their UCAs.

Too much installation torque (or rough driving) can crack either type in the BJ area, but the combo of both is worse and only apples to thread in style.
