OK guys...
here is my situation,
I bought a pair of lower control arms from Box 1, according to the guy that sold him the arms they are from a '00 GT
I glanced at them and at a quick glance they appeared to be the same as my old shitty ones from my '95 GT... so when I took my old shitty ones off I threw them out h:. so then I paid Joe from CRE to burn out the '00 GT stock bushings and press in some new bushings from a Prothane kit (94-04)... the forward bushing went just perfect, but the rear bushing was WAY too large for the stock bushing shell.... .
So I called Prothane and the guy on the phone stated that I was the first person to ever call him with this problem (hard to believe... kind of). anyway, no questions asked he is sending out a new pair of bushings, just in case the ones I have are casted wrong or something, but he finds that very hard to believe due to the fact that the part numbers are part of the mold.
so I used my Dial Caliper and measured the ID of the rear stock bushing shell and it is 1.85" ID... can anyone tell me what control arms I have so I can order the correct bushings?
can anyone also tell me if I can even use these arms even after I identify them and get the correct bushings? or am I throwing good money after bad and need to just give up on them and find another set of stock Control arms?
does anyone have an other set of stock control arms, preferably newer with newer bushings and balljoints?
