Upper Control Arms

Where do you find upper control arms new? Besides GM. Not having any luck with parts stores. Looking for upper control arms for a 91 S10 Blazer 4x4 4dr, maybe lowers. Any info?

Re: Upper Control Arms

You can replace the bushings if that is the reason you are replacing them.

Re: Upper Control Arms

for a '91, if they have to be new, then only places i know of are the dealer, or an aftermarket 4x4 shop...not sure if they can get the stock arms at a 4x4 shop...but is an idea to try. if it is just bushings though, would be cheaper in the long run to just do them, and not replace the whole arm.

I wish thats all I had to do was ball joints or bushings. The upper control arm broke in half going down the highway at 65 mph. Wanted to go left real hard and had to keep wheel turned to the right to get home. It had rusted and created weak spots from the looks of it. I looked at the pass side and its not far behind. So going to replace the pair if I can fing good used or new ones. Any idea what years will work on the 91 S10 blazer 4x4 if I go junk yard or ebay searching?
