Hi All,
After a little of your collective knowledge, I am now part the way through restoring my xr wagon. I am now rebushing the front end out of a '79 XD. The lower control arm's are all sweet, painted and rebushed with nolathane bushes and ready to go. I also purchased nolathane bushes for, what I thought were the upper control arm inners from the XD. The part the guy has given me, and I have since cross referenced, apparently fits the upper control arm inners from the '66 XR to the '84 XE. They are however too small for the ones from the XD, and I cant find another part number from the Nolathane catalogue to suit. The guy who sold them to me has shrugged his shoulders and given me the 'I Dunno' that's what the book says.
Has anybody come across this before?

That's bizarre. Have you tried a different browser? It works for me using Firefox. Here is a link to Nolathane's parent company http://www.redranger.com.au/ Does whiteline and Noltec crash your computer too? ------------------------------------- |

The control arms are actully for my 66 XR wagon.
I bought an XD wagon with a rebuilt 302, gas heads low K's, and LSD rear with the intention of
