Lower control arm weight?

[boxerdog]

Does anyone happen to have the weight of a stock x-frame front lower control arm including shaft and ball joint? I am hoping someone has one sitting around and can make this an easy question!

Got uppers , no lower.

I have a buddy with some laying around but I asked him and he has no way of weighing them. To be clear. His are off of a 1964 chevy Impala. Keep in mind there are different types which will change the weight. The ones he is replacing his old beat up pieces with are 63 I think with no sway bar links welded on. Came off of a car with an air cooled powerglide.

No sway bar links-=6 cyl car. Weight should all be the same 58-64

I believe the 6 cylinder cars had the sway bar. I know my 63 does.

My 63 straight 6 car with 3 on the tree has a sway bar.

Thank you, Jim!

I think I know, but not sure enough. So I'll ask. Why you weighing them Dave?

 

[Jim Sullivan]

The control arms was from a 6 cylinder car without a sway bar. Approximately 13 pounds 5 ounces. The scale reads in tenths for some stupid reason.

Thank you very much Jim!
And for Jeff - the answer is I have a set of aftermarket tubular ones that seem very heavy. The last thing I am going to do is add weight to my car! If they are a lot heavier I probably won't use them.

SUPPOSEDLY.......6 cylinder cars and Z-11's did not have sway bars.

 

[boxerdog]

I think mine fell off somewhere.

I think mine fell off somewhere.

Or, your so fast they were blown off Let's go with that one, sounds much better.

Stock upper assembly weighs 9 lbs.

The tubular control arms are about 20lbs. They are heavier then stock and the lowers do nothing for you, only the uppers improve caster

 

[boxerdog]

Exactly!

 

[Barry Taylor]

Got the tubulars that Showcars sell last week which are very nice looking and seem to be good quality. I installed just the uppers which weighed the same as the originals 9lbs. for the reason 58 delivery states above, more caster. So! I will have a set of real purty tubular lowers for sell for cheap soon.

 

[boxerdog]

Me too only cheaper lol.
