Are these correct for a '68?

Does anyone know if these control arm pieces are correct for a '68, or did the '68 use the type with the single bolt in the front? Thanks for your help.

No. Those are the correct pieces for ’65-’67 – not ’68 or later.

The 1968 front suspension has lots of ‘transition pieces’ where some are similar and identical to ’69 and later LWB but still use the SWB ball joints, etc. The bracket at the front of the A-arm on a ’68 is the same as the LWB ’69-’73.

The only caution is to make sure the car has not been back-dated to the ’65-’67 A-arms and front cross member.

A good conversion for your SWB ’68 is to change the entire front suspension to the LWB version. I did it to my ’68 in 1969 – still there.

Best,
Grady
