Re Subaru: Thats what happens when Toyota gets involved. They have gotten so much more difficult to work on. I used to be a big fan of Subaru. Then GM started screwing them up, and then Toyota finished the job.

Re IROC: Moog control arms are about 92 bucks at Summit (I think). Where as the Bushings are 50 bucks. I agree that Moog is not as good as they used to be. But I hate just replacing bushings on something that is nearly 40 years old!

I just looked at Summit and there are no Moog lower control arms listed at all. I found this set at ebay but I had to send a contact to seller to see if these fit an 86 Camaro IROC Z28 with the Macpherson Strut set up instead of a standard upper control arm. Waiting to hear back.

They were $308 for the pair.

I just wanted to see what they looked like. Back in the day I had quite a few F-Bodies. All the suspension is basically the same, from 82-92--whether it's a base model or a high performance version. Of course there's differences, but the basic architecture is the same. They all had McPherson struts in the front with shocks in the rear.

Clicked on my supplier link for Summit, and nothing.. Weird.

Just a point on these F-Bodys, remember they love to eat the rear axle bump stops. If it aint bad now, it will be soon! Something to check for your customer.

Looks like a bottom rubber spring insulator would be needed.
