Front Upper Control Arm

My bushings are worn out of my 63 Fleetwood and was wondering if its just better to go ahead and replace the whole arm or just the bushings? Also was wondering about the size.....seen a 1 1/2 and a 1 7/16 would it matter on the size if I buy the complete arm with the bushings already installed?

Comment by Paul George on October 6, 2013 at 5:13pm: The arms actually look good its just the rubber that is pretty much shot! Figured that replacing the whole arm and bushings would be a easier fix then just replacing the bushings. Thanks for the reply back Russ. Between you and Jason I have bought some good parts and always look forward to getting my questions answered!

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.

Many thanks,

-Samu

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
