Dear Tom,


         I would agree with your fabricator.

         Market value for used stock rear upper a arms?   Relatively low, I
would think  given the increasing trend of owners to do exactly what you're
doing.   I don't know of any actual numbers for a price.  I think that I
have two or four stock rear upper a arms in the parts department......

        
               Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

This thread got me thinking about adding the adjustable rod end joint to my
upper rear a-arms while their off. I see two options:
1. Modify the stock ones by cutting out the old ball joint and adding a 3/4"
rod end. Not the cleanest way to go. OR
2. Have my fabricator make new rear a-arms from chrome moly with the
adjustable rod ends.

My fabricator is leaning to doing all new arms first because he doesn't like
modifying the original part (their original after all). What's an original
a-arm worth these days? Anyone been there done that?

Tom
