1964 Super 88 Lower Front Control Arms

What arms will interchange on my car?
Looking for info on the Front LCA...
Impala/Biscane maybe? How about Buick?
Anyone have a Hollander book that can check?
Thanks


Where is a good source for weather strip for a 4 door hard top?

Probably any 64-67 GM A body.
There's a buick A Body wagon for parts on chicago craigslist right now, but those were a couple inches wider somehow.

Not even close. The Super 88 is a B body. Control arms are completely different from A-body arms. In fact, the B-body lower arms are shaft mounted.

The 63-64 Olds B and C body control arms will interchange. The Chevy suspension is completely different. That car has an X-frame instead of a perimeter frame like the Olds and the lower ball joint studs point down instead of up like the Olds.

Hollander only lists the Olds as an interchange, but I've found them to be very conservative. For example, they only show Olds A-body disk brake spindles as interchanging on the 69-72 cars, but I know from personal experience that any 64-72 A-body spindles interchange. All I can say is to carefully compare the Buick arms with yours.
