Lower Control Arms

[L5wolvesf]

Since I'm going to do a front end suspension rebuilt when I do the disc brake conversion I would like to have the as many prep'd and painted parts in hand and ready to attach. I have a spare pair of upper control arms now but not the lowers.

What I need to know is what years and or models share the same lowers as my 55 Customline?

Thank you in advance

Pretty sure '54 thru '56 Ford or Mercury will work.

1954 to 1956 use the same design lower control arm(s), although the replacement PN for all three model years is 1956.

The 55-57 Tbirds may be the same as they shared the same front end.

GOOD POINT!


Also 55/57 BIRD.

Thanks guys. Not a lot of them out there I suppose.

Does this mean you can get replacements from Ford?

No. That indicates the arms were changed (various engineering upgrades) during production, the '56 changes being final issue. Any will work. Just be sure to match the pair.

also search checker cab as they used that same basic front end up into the 80s I believe when production stopped

Thank you - that could make more available.
