Thread: Rusting A-arms 2002 grand prix

Has anybody had experiences with rusting A-arms in 2002 Grand Prix's

Few things:

Pay attention to where you're posting.

These cars dont have A arms.

The lower control arms rust but the rust wont be the issue, the front bushing and the balljoint will go well before the structural integrity of the arm is compromised.

Replace the entire arm when you need either the balljoint or the front bushing. Its worth the extra money.

The ones on my 2000 GTP were really rusted (original lower control arm), I was at the time replacing the struts so while I had it apart I replace them with DOORMAN parts (Regal ones) only $65 each 1.5yr ago. Not only were they really rusted but the front bushing was in bad shape. They must have been BARE metal from the factory to rust that bad.

Thanks for the replies!
