Cutlass/Chevelle
Well it's time to rebuild the front suspension and I have a question. Will a 65 Chevelle front end kit work on my 65 Cutlass? I have heard that many Chevelle parts are interchangeble with the Cutlass.
Thanks,
Rokit

The chassis and suspension are virtually identical on all A-body cars of a given year. There WERE some detail differences, however. Control arm bushing sizes may be slightly different, so check yours before buying. Later A-body cars may have used an oval lower control arm rear bushing, but some did not. Finally, the steering center link may be a different diameter.

More specifically, '64-'67 F85s (and though '70 on the big cars) there are factory Saginaw and factory TRW types and you'll need to match components. In other words, the center link, pitman arm and idler arm all need to be one or the other. They have non interchangeable connecting details. Your Chassis Service Manual (you have one, Rdrokit, right?) will show you how to identify the two types.

Thanks for all the replies.
wmachine. I do not have a Chassis Service manual and do not know how to tell the difference
mugzilla, never thought of disc brakes as the stock power brakes work great. Maybe when they quit working I will change over
gearheads78, just looking to replace the rubber bushing, nothing performance.
P.S. I was looking to buy from Matts Classic BowTie as their prices looked good and my Chevy friends in the States buy from him and are happy.

Hang in there, Rdrokit. I'll scan and email the relevant pages, pm me your email address.
I've had excellent luck with Kanter for suspension part. Great deals on their complete kits.
