Ah.

I'm not having much luck finding them either...... If they aren't all rusted out, maybe have them welded??

If I'm not mistaken the 4x4 upper and lower control arms have been discontinued but 2wd are still available. I've played with the idea of buying a set of the 2wd control arms and see if they would work but haven't done it yet.

I was lucky enough to find a decent set at the salvage yard, as I couldn't find any new pieces either. I've wonder if later model 4x4 control arms would work.
