WTB: front lower control arm for '68 bug (disc front end - ball joint)
nova35 - December 6th, 2011 at 08:33 PM

Hi guys,

I'm restoring a Eureka ('68 bug IRS chassis) and one of the many parts needing to be replaced is the lower A-arm/control arm on the passengers side - its the rusty bit towards the bottom in the photo. Normally the front shocker mounts to it, however in this case it isn't fully there - hence the shocker is missing.

Does anyone know where I could buy a control arm from?  New or used - I've had a look on the net at the usual beetle parts sellers and they all sell bushes, but not control arm itself.  Its a disc front end, balljoint. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Radek.

Sorry about that, I did add an email to the original post last night, though yeh I guess it's probably clearer if I add it here in a new reply instead.

Therefore if anyone has one for sale that they're willing to either post to Melbourne (I'm happy to pay extra for postage and handling) or otherwise you are located in Melbourne please drop me a line at: radek.81@live.com.au or give me a call on 0437466314.

Cheers,
Radek.
