62 upper control arms.

Post by Cmf1371 »

Hey y’all,
I got the front suspension torn apart on my 62, and the threads for the bushings are completely destroyed. Are 63 uca’s a direct swap? Or would I have to change spindles and lower control arms with it? Thanks for the help!

I should have been more specific. The threads in the control arm are wasted, the replacement bushings won’t even thread into the control arm.
