Hi guys,
In pulling apart my front suspension on my 66 Satellite, I've noticed rust in the mount for the upper control arm. It's worse on the drivers side but I want to replace both sides.
Rockauto stock a couple of items that seem correct:

Goodmark "Shock Tower Brace" part no. GMK2130325626L & R
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=5489772&cc=1347409&jnid=462&jpid=0


or
Sherman "LT Rear Upper Control Arm" part no. 16049LL or LR.
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?carcode=1598&parttype=10401&a=Ad%2BCode%2BG-autoparts&


The problem is the photos on their website don't show the backside of the part i.e. the side facing the wheel which has the upper control arm mount welded to it. I emailed them to ask if it come with the mount but they couldn't tell me. I'm in Australia so don't fancy calling them.

Does anyone know if either of these are the correct parts, which make is better, and if the upper control arm mount comes with it?

Thanks for any help.

If they don't have what you need I have a really nice, rust free front clip sitting in the yard. If might be reasonable to put what you need on a pallet and send it down the docks in CA for international shipment.

Good luck and let me know if we can help!
 
Thanks for the offer mate, but I think that might be overkill. The parts are only $82 each plus shipping so I ordered them and will hope for the best. If they don't come with the mount I will get fabricated locally and welded in, using the old one as a template.
Cheers
