I need to replace the passenger side A-frame on my '84 T/A - some time ago I noticed the car was riding oddly, especially in corners so when I took it in to the garage they said my ball joint in the lower arm was loose. Apparently it's a press-fit in there and it had somehow come loose and wallowed out where the ball joint was pressed in the frame. As a short term fix I had the joint socket welded to the A-frame to keep it from shifting around in the A-frame (which cured the ride problem), but since the joint will eventually wear out I'd like to go to the salvage yard and get another arm so I can replace it along with the ball joint when the time comes.

What year(s) thirdgens can I use the A-frame from to replace the worn out one? I've got the handling package if that makes any difference...

Thanks!

Ah, ok- I suspected that that would be the case but wanted to make sure. I didn't think they did any redesign on the A-arms during those years but you never know.

Thanks!
