WHAT FOUND AT THE YARD
Saturday, May 09, 2009 12:16 PM
Well I went to the u pull it yard today and found a few cars out there that came in FRIDAY. Both are 99 Grand AM's I got the Alum control arms and nuckles. Never thought I would be luck enough to find these at that yard. I plane on going back out there Mon day and see if I can find any IRS units for my cars. I also found a Complete GTP,the car has motor harness and computer. I took the computer today though. My body that runs the yard moved theGTP to the back yard were noone can pull what I need off it. Looks like I got very LUCKY today.

But realy the is about the Alum control arms and nuckles. I have looked high and low for them.

The one time I did not realy look I found all the parts I need in one day.

What are the odds?

I'll probably get it for asking but are the control arms from Grand Ams the same for the Cavys? Are they an upgrade or just a direct swap with no mods needed?

They reduce the car's unsprung weight and people have also noticed reduced wheel hop too. John Benham and i sold a batch of modded arms(the ball joint holes have to be welded up and redrilled, the specs are posted in an old post). We might be selling more(if we can get our hands on them).

X2. The 99 N-body units are solid aluminum, so there is less flex. Most, if not all, people have put them in with eurethane bushings, so you get a big increase in stiffness, which allows the suspension travel to work the way it was designed.

This is a very worthwhile mod if you're tuning your suspension.
