name this control arm

trying to figure out whaat the hell kinda lower control arm this is??? thought it was pinto but its not! does anyone know. the brakes were a drum 5 on 41/2" lug pattern

 

pinto/bobcat... or MII

 

nope tried those and they are different balljoint application. too narrow around the balljoint

 

name this control arm

Clyde

 

Could it be from a Maverick or similar?

 

no those have same balljoint app. as mustang II and pinto...

 

I'd name it Bill or George, anything but Sue!

 

name it Gump... Forrest Gump

 

Mavericks have the spring on the upper control arm like a early Mustang

 

My first instint was possibly AMC or annother X-brand. But I'm thinking mid to late 60s GM large platform car.

 

Just proves I don't know **** about Fords!

 

Any part numbers visible? If it is Ford, you will be able to tell what it's from by de-coding the part number.

 

didn't they have a mercury capri with that style front suspension

 

i took a couple more pics including the upper arms.... still searching

upper arm part# s255824 below that gm23b

 

Early falcon or comet, they look familiar?

 

Looking at the new pictures, try 72 and up Dodge Truck.

 

Ok, not dodge truck. But you can see why I thought maybe.

 

Nope, like the Maverick, spring mounts on upper arm

 

those r close but no cigars on that one!!! i am absolutely stumped

 

not a Ford part. AMC pacer?

 

Noper this is a Pacer

 

hows about granada/monarch/Versailles ?

 

All the amc's used the spring on top of the upper arm also... My best guess would be 1972 torino. They had the spring down low and used strut rods..

 

the uppers look the same as pacer but the lowers on a pacer are actually an "a" arm not a single control

 

the torino is the same concept but it has a different lower ball joint application! this may be the ? of the year!!!! unfortunately for me i'm ****ed cause i need these damn
ball joints

 

thanks for all the help!! scratchin my head i,ve come up with an idea! i'm gonna get mustang II lower controls and modify my uppers to fit mustang II ball joints, then apply a mustang II disc conversion w/ drop spindle....dun dada dah!!!!!

 

Upon further review i am 99% certain that you have a 72-76 Thunderbird/Torino/Ranchero/LTD. Possibly the same all the way to 79.
Almost guaranty it.

 

With that part number I think I would start looking at GM applications.

 

after all this time i now know what it is!!! not a t-bird but very similiar!! its a corvair......

 

Hey brother, you let me down being the front end guru, but at least you was on the right track...
The AMC Pacer front end actually looks like a nice set up eh...
