Patton, you should be able to find used A arms with only the outer fulcrum
bushings worn. If you can, you can but new bushings from Apple for $16:00 a
side and install them yourself. Alternatively you can exchange them for
rebuilds for around $70 each. My A arms were OK so I purchased only the
bushings and installed them myself, not a big job. You will need new fulcrum
pins to align the bushings properly prior to silver soldering.
Good luck

One had Major damage from a unnoticed crack in the fulcrum pin of the right
one, almost split open. The other was worn out with a small crack in the
same place.
And since I don't weld... not really meuch choice. And I would have had to
spend $75 to have them rebuilt by Apple. This worked best for me.
