I took the camaro for an MOT today. It sailed straight through, however, The rear bushes on the track control arms are starting to break up.

Anybody know where I can get either new bushes/ uprated poly bushes

Its a 94 Z28

USAUTOMOTIVE are very expensive! In the past I have found it is far cheaper to buy parts direct from the States, even with shipping costs and taxes.

try states, usually companies that operate through ebay are good. Either that or rockauto or summit etc, they now offer an all expenses paid system so taxes and post is covered straight to your door.

I did see a pair of rear control arms on ebay (uprated ones) a while back ...maybe still on there? I think I sold my spare set already but will look in garage for you :D

many thanks

I have bought stuff from the Staes before and found it a lot cheaper even with duty and postal costs

I bought An MSD Opti from Jegs. It arrived on my doorstep within 6 days!

I assume the whole control arm does not have to be replaced?
