NOS lower control arms

[Bill L.]

Should I look for any differences between factory installed lower control arms and NOS lower control arms?

Thanks,


Bill

Depends upon which NOS control arms you're talking about. The last available lower control arms, GM #476083 and 476084, were used in PRODUCTION for 1978-82 Corvettes and became SERVICE for all earlier 63-77 Corvettes. The only discernable difference between these arms and the 1964-77 arms is a very slight difference in the wheel stop bracket which is welded to the arms. I don't think that most folks could even tell the difference unless they had the earlier and later arms side-by-side.

Thank you Joe.
