[Shotimes] RE: GM Rear Control Arms

[Paul Nimz]

Well I don't know.  I always looked up part #10262699.  But I knew that the
front was different than the back.  I specifically asked GMPartsdirect and
that is their response.  You could try asking them directly for
conformation.


Here is my original email to them.....

When I look up part number 10262699 the form says that it has been replaced
by part number 10329687.  This may be a common part between Buick and
Pontiac.  Other places that I have checked with an illustration list have
front and rear spindle rods.  The rear one is adjustable and has a threaded
end.  The front one is a solid non-adjustable rod.

I need the rear spindle arm which I have been told is(was) 10262699.
