I picked up a 1988 Chevy K1500 Silverado Sportside that needs work. Bought majority of the suspension and steering parts from RockAuto over the winter just to replace everything as I figured it was all destroyed by now.
Went to test fit the new upper control arm and no go! The forward bushing is wider in the aftermarket Mevotech and doesn't fit in the bracket. It even looks like the Mevotech is angled differently.
I checked RockAuto and can't find any differences that would cause me to pick the wrong ones. I also now see they only take returns within 60 days so I may be stuck with these ones that don't fit.
Has anyone ran into a problem with different upper control arms and where did you find the right ones? No website has selections for heavy/light halfs or something like that. Please help, I need to get this back together as soon as possible. I'd post pics but I don't know how to.
