How do I know if they have said grease fittings?What ever ones have grease fittings. That said, put is pretty popular
Ok so I don’t know much about them or how long they were on etc. I went to a guys house who had a barn of stangs, bought my GT40 tubular then a bunch of other crap it turns out I didn’t need and probably won’t use, like a c&l 76mm mass air, 24lb inj. I should’ve bought the 70mm TB but passed. I saw control arms and was like 30 bucks sure and I’ll replace those bushings. Yes, the top pic grey ones are UPRs that from what I saw go for 250, guy had them on his 93 Cobra and said he is reverting back to stock. They look clean and bushings look good as well.The black ones are made from mild steel. The top ones are made out of Chrome moly. I'd tend to believe that the top ones are UPR because of that.
I find it suspect that the bushings are worn out on a set of aftermarket arms. How many miless did those black arms have on them for the bushings to fail?
Im thinkin Chinee.....
Consider how many years, and how many miles a stock arm goes before that happens...
How do I know if they have said grease fittings?
Ahhh ok well now I feel real smart. These things then!!
The little nipple thingys that stick out on the end where the bushings are, you can drill and tap the ends for fittings if they are not there, better control arms have them. UPR is the better of the two pictured (top)
Thanks man, I read on lmr that the UPR if supposedly greased right do not need bushing replacements. Is this bs or factual? The guy won’t budge from 150 either.If I had to pick between the two, I’d sell the sve set and go upr, even if that means adding fittings.
