73/74 Roadrunner Lower Control Arms

[RR Fan Dan]

I’m having problems locating bushings and pivot pins. Will 68-72 B Body LCA’s work? There are plenty of parts and options available for those. Do I have any other options such as a control arm from an A body or something like that? There seems to be no stock or aftermarket parts for 73/74 LCAs.

Well if you were asking for rear LCA you will get a No.

They show everything.

But I already talked them and ordered a bunch of stuff. The complete LCAs are not an option for 73/74. Only the support brackets which I purchased.

Well if you were asking for rear LCA you will get a No.

Edited; My LCAs are fine and I can reuse them and probably the pivot pins. I really need the bushings. The pivot pins would be a bonus. My question is are there other Mopar LCAs that will work. I’m not opposed to modifications to make something work. The car is on the rotisserie now. Looking for all the suspension pieces to put it back together. The LCAs are my problem. I have found everything else.

Yes rear LCA as stated in my post. My LCAs are fine and I can reuse them and probably the pivot pins. I really need the bushings. The pivot pins would be a bonus.

Rear Lower control arms? Rear?????

Rear Lower control arms? Rear?????

No front. Similar to a 72 but apparently different. This a 72.

This is what they look like for 73/74

 

[pnora]

Yes REAR.

Well you have the first one that I have ever heard of with a Rear Lower Control Arm. They have Front Lower and Upper.

Those are Front Lower control arms.

You are correct. I don’t know why I keep saying rear. My brain is not functioning today. Corrected the post. Front lower.

You are correct. I don’t know why I keep saying rear. My brain is not functioning today. Corrected the post. Front lower.

My point is that if you were calling and asking for rear lower control arms and parts you would get a flat NO.

 

[RR Fan Dan]

I know. I don’t know why I kept calling them rear. I corrected the thread. Y’all get a good laugh and then let’s move on back to my problem. If this thread is going to turn into a hey this guy is stupid thread I will delete it and move on so get your chuckles in now.

You mentioned years but not model of car. For Chargers, 73-76 takes the same bushing number. #12316 TRW from the catalog I have. As far as the control arm itself, I would imagine it is the same but I can't say for sure. You would have to go to My Mopar and download a parts book to check that.

74RR. Should be same as charger. But everything online only goes to 72 for b body

Hailing @hemi71x in case he has rebuilt LCA's for a '73/'74 B body; or knows where to find rebuilt ones.

Model does make a difference. Are you working on a Satellite/Road Runner and what year specifically? We need that information. That info should have been in your first post.

Hey. That looks like the right bushing.

70-72 and 73-74 do take a different bushing in the Satellite/ Road Runner models.

Craig @mobileparts may have the supension parts you need.

He carries other hard to find stuff too...like brake parts.
