I`m in the process of doing the installation when i noticed on the upper control arm specifically the drivers side i had to put a notch in it cause it would not fit due to it hitting the rear end housing,has anyone experienced this problem with their`s on their GM A-Body?


Thanks

I wonder if hotckis sent you a 10 bolt arm,the 12 bolt should be angled were it mounts to the ears of the diff
