I need complete lower control arms for my 1970 98. I cannot find any online. Will a-body control arms fit c-body cars like my 98?

That's what I feared. Does anyone know where I can get control arms for a 98?

Your best bet is probably a junkyard or someone parting out a car.

Thera are definitely yards with '65 (or was it '64?) to '70 B and C bodies lying around.
Getting them flipped over to get to the A-arms is another story...

There's a junkyard several hours from where I live, no others yards of comparable size are nearby. Unfortunately, not many GM full-sized cars are there. There are some Cutlasses there though.

You may have to mail-order them from a big yard like Desert Valley Auto Parts, unless you can find a member here who has a pair for you.

1965-1970 B-body and C-body Olds and Buick cars will be suitable donors for control arms.
