My assembly manual does not show these as part of the assembly. It was an extremely tough time getting enough compression on the rear end to torque the control arms. > > > > btw here is the link to the website showing the car back together and drivable. > > > > http://webpages.charter.net/perfmark/cars/chevelle/chevelle.htm > > > > Thanks, > > > > Mark ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
