[Tigers] A-Arms

[Tom Witt]

Going by the Sunbeam Specialties prices of $118 for bushings (8), Lower ball joints (pair) $89 and upper ball joints (pair) there is right about $275 in parts. Thus the price comes to $565 to clean/paint the arms and press the bushings, upper ball joints and bolt in the lower ball joints. The bottom line is that labor worth $565 to you?  The ad did not mention anything about the fulcrum pins. I would assume they are used – stock. The upper looks stock in one of the pictures.  Most people purchase thicker pins and forgo the metal insert in the bushing. There is no mention of this.

Note too that the shipping cost is $67.50 to my west coast location. Your price may vary.  I’d assume whatever the shipping cost are..., so is the core return shipping as well. Speaking for myself, less the actual cost of the parts the labor and shipping would be $700.  For me that is a lot of money. For others..., maybe not.

The control arm bushings on my MKII Tiger are in need of replacing… I don’t have a source locally to correctly refurbish the A-Arms.  Does anyone know anything about the “Sunbeam Tiger/Alpine fresh A-arms” listed on E-bay? And they are asking $840.00 plus cores?
