what lower control arm?

67rcks · Feb 26, 2011

There are many manufacturers/brands of these arms and wondering which one it is best to buy?
Now I have arms with welded-in ball joint; yet I can find mostly replacement arms with riveted ball joint. The only one I could find with welded-in joints is moog no K8121. Is this rather inferior arm? What is OE setup for 1967 - riveted or welded-in?
Interested only in OE-like arms. No TCP GW etc.

MOOG lowers are good quality. I dont recall what type of ball joint mounting they had but its a nice tight ball joint.

Moog tie rods also have nice balljoints as well.

Places like Glazier/Nolan should be able to sell you show-correct lower arms quite reasonably.

My (early) '67 original LCA were riveted in. I tried repops but the bushing slid in the mount causing metal/metal rubbing in the mount. I bought the Moogs from Va Mustangs for $50ea. which was cheaper than the repops, quality and I had the bushings tack welded just in case.

Moog makes good stuff.

All 64-73 ball joints were riveted.
