Howdy,

Where's everyone buying parts at discount these days? I'm thinking I'm needing two new front upper control arms for the c5 z06...

They both look like this now:

I don't think yours are bad enough to replace yet. The lowers are more prone to moving - I'd pound them out till the LCA rubbed on the Kmember on my BSP C5. I gave the first set of arms I replaced to Griggs so they could tool up for some better bushings, dunno if they ever did that.
