I am looking for some measurments of the stock G-body rear control arms, both upper and lower. From bolt center line to bolt center line. I do not own a G-body, or have access to one, but will be using a rear end out of one for this particular suspension design. I am installing it in a FWD to RWD conversion and would like to start with the "stock" geometry or as close to as I can, when retrofitting. ;)

TIA.

When I redid my IC this summer I measured 6.25" center to center on the uppers and 18" center to center on the lowers. This would probably be a good place to start.

Thanks. :D

I would have thought the top would have been longer though.

I measured about 11" for the upper arm and 19.5 for the lower.

Ok, so which measurements are correct? LOL

11" does sound more like what I was "remembering" they were.

I guess I'll just have to see if I can find some. unless we get a tie breaker. ;) LOL
