Hey, has anyone out there ever replaced their rear control arms with aftermarket ones? I've looked at ones from Spohn Performance and PMT Fabrication. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Several on this board have used the Spohn arms and reported they are good. IMO, they are the best option, as they not only incorporate a spherical bearing to help minimize suspension bind, but they also allow for adjustable pinion angle. OEM control arm bushings also allow for pinion angle adjustment (very minor amount), but none of the other aftermarket arms or bushings do.

i can't help you with the rear arms but i wonder if the PMT Fab strut rods are compatible with the Little Shop spherical bushings?

65-74 galaxie strut rod is different from the 72-79 intermediate part.
