    Found some for $38 each!:eek2:
    Rare parts makes them. And NAPA sells them.

    Here's everything you want to know about control arms:

    There's a link to the 64 bushing topic:

    Then a link to the bushings at NAPA:

    I bet there's something else out there that will fit from another application, you just have to find it.

    Joe, are you sure you have the original rear? Do the axle tubes flare out at the end like in my pic?
    You said you had a 2-something year, but I thought 65 GS's came with 3.36 minumum with the 4 speeds.
    Find the code stamped on the axle tube so we can ID that rear.

    I will look for the codes. I did find them at PST but the wanted 50 a side.

    My local guy just called and said he might have it cause we ordered a few of them to try to match it up. I'm beginning to think the rear isn't correct. I will see if the tubes are stamped. Also if the seals I got from Jim at JD are the right ones. Stand by.:spank:
