Rear lower control arm
Well, my SVX won't pass inspection as the bushings in the driver's side rear lower control arm are shot. Sadly these bushings are not repairable and I need to either buy the whole lower control arm new or try to get one in good shape used. I will try for used first.
If anyone has one for sale and happens to be going to the Reading meet this coming weekend it would be super spectacular if you could bring it and I can pick it up there. Even if you aren't going to the Reading meet we can work out a price with shipping. Either way, please PM me and let me know. Thanks! -Johnny

Which arm?? Theirs a trailing arm and then a front and a rear lateral arm.
The laterals I have, the trailing I can probably get by Reading. If you want, give me a call about them 570 - 527-4277 edit--- Post 3,3333!!! 1/3 of the way to 10K....

I believe it's the lateral arm. I recall the mechanic stating that the bushings are shot where the control arm mounts to the hub. I will have to crawl under the car and confirm. I will try and peek on my lunch break and let you know. Thanks, Dave!

Dave,
I can't tell if it's one of the lateral arms or the trailing arm while it's sitting on the ground. How hard would it be to bring the two laterals and a trailing link with you to Reading? I can raise the corner there and perhaps you could have a peek and offer your expertise. Let me know what you want for the parts and I will make sure I have enough cash with me then. If I can call you after 9pm I will give you a shout tonight.
