Does any body know where to buy just the front wishbone bushings for a 1958 Chevy. Later grate only sells the bushings in a complete kit for $189.99.

The wishbone bushings--in fact, all the bushings for the '58 rear suspension--are hard to find. I only found them as a complete kit, and I got them from Eckler's as well. To make matters worse, they're repops of questionable quality. But, it seems they're the only ones available unless anyone else knows of a source.

I got my bushings from Auto City Classics. I don't remember if the wishbones were separate or as part of a kit.

That was a few years back.

Most people refer to those front wishbones as upper and lower control arms.

uppers are the same as C2 corvettes/55-57 chevy TRW number 12162
lowers are the same as 55-57 chevy TRW number 12163
according to my TRW chassis parts catalog
common as chicken feet.
upper ball joints are the same from 1955 thru-1970 TRW number 10203
now i've got a '59 biscayne 2 door, Yahoo !
and a '57 3100 short step, yup !
and a 1961 brunett cancer survivor. THE BEST !!
