I have a brand new, never used set of RCC rear lower tubular control arms (black PC) with new ball joints. I paid $320.00 + shipping. Asking $300.00 shipped. These were purchased for my '86 SE, but I am switching to an '88 cradle and suspension. I accept paypal (please add 3% to price to cover paypal costs or send as gift). PM me if interested or (better yet because I am on the road alot) e-mail me @ rjblaze@verizon.net. I can e-mail pics.......can never get pics to post on here for some reason.
RCC-style bump steer kit - SOLD
RCC Rear Control arms are still available - SOLD

Bah I can't decide on if I should buy the control arms or not!
I have new Rodney ball joints and poly for my stock arms. I'd have to get rid of that, and the inner+ outer tie rod ends since the bump steer links will replace that.

Probably the last chance you will have to get that bumpsteer kit...RCC is no longer in business. Note that the price he said he paid for those was without the new outer tie rod ends....so that is a hell of a deal for someone.

The bumpsteer kit is spoken for , thats definitely getting installed on my Fiero- and he says its an RCC style kit, so I'm assuming someone else made it? Either way I'm taking it. I'm just going back and forth over getting the control arms too.

Yes, the bumpt-steer kit is spoken for. The kit was made by someone(?) on here....can't remember who......but I do believe they were built better than the RCC's with greasable spherical ends and a solid, gun-drilled steel extension block with a larger bolt.
BTW, it appears that the lower control arms are still available. However, if nitrohead changes his mind before they are sold to someone else, he has first shot.

I do believe the hardest part would be the gun-drilling of the steel block for the thru-bolt and "making"/ getting the proper length steel rod to connect the heim-joint to the tie-rod end. I should have measured all of this stuff before I packaged them up.......got shipped out today.
Any "reasonable" offers for the control arms?
BTW, I will have more stuff related to an '84-87 rear suspension available....like poly cradle mounts, brand new GM parking brake cables, rear Lebaron brake-upgrade brackets, rear knuckles, rear calipers, etc.

I wish I had known earlier
Can you email me with what you have? Interested in Lebaron conversion parts especially.

I have the measurements from an original RCC kit if you discover you need them.

I will offer the $40 in my paypal account and my first born child for the control arms (shipped, of course...if that is all I have to offer, I can't afford shipping on top of it).

If anyone is looking for specs on the bumpsteer kit, I ended up not installing it now- gonna wait till my engine swap. So I'll gladly take measurements.

Those are actually from my other thread, but I do believe I do. I have all three brake cables (a set). A very long one that I do believe goes from the handle to the equalizer and then the two short ones that go from the equalizer to the calipers. They are all brand new from GM.

Out of curiosity I wonder what bushings those arms use (if they ever needed to be replaced). They definitely aren't Fiero style replacements for the stock arms, I bent a rear control arm a little but during my poly install and straightened it- but its been bugging me and since these have been for sale for a while, one can only wonder

Not really sure why they would ever need to be replaced, but they appear to be normal 3-piece poly bushings. I'm sure they could be matched via one of the poly manufacturers tech lines if ever necessary.. I do believe that these are still out here for sale is due to the price, but I will not give them away....I can't afford the loss as I am sure alot cannot afford the price due to the current economy and other more important expenditures. I'll just keep trying. I will consider selling them for $250.00, but then shipping will NOT be included.....maybe split the cost?

You may want to edit your first post; iy says their SOLD. Some may see that and not continue reading...
