Free Control Arms

Anyone need upper and lower control arms? They can have my old ones for free. Taken off an 81 FB. Original rubber bushings pretty shot, but you could burn it out and replace with aftermarket bushings. Just pay shipping. Better than throwing them in landfill.

Posting here rather than in the for sale section as would rather donate to someone on the FB forum.

Shipping would be a pain but I'm interested. Worn old bushings are still better than polyurethane.

It's not, I haven't replied yet because I'm sort of on vacation this week and my Internet is very flaky. I lost reception after I read it.

Shipping is acceptable. Plus you need something for your time. Not sure how you want to do money transfer, I'm only really set up for Paypal.

I will private message you my Paypal details. Just the shipping cost, no need for payment for my time... I am retired and have plenty of time! Plus you are a huge help for many people on this forum.

I got home from a not so good day at my new job* and found a Mazdatrix box sitting next to my bedroom door. Totally unexpected! Expect payment soon.

* at the end of January I got very, very ill, and lost my job as a result. New job is a pain to commute to but a much better environment, so it all worked out, aside from two solid months of no income. I should have enough pennies scrounged to cover shipping, no worries there!

No payment needed! Use the cash to treat yourself to something this weekend. I have been in hard financial straights myself, literally down to the loose change in my wallet, so know what it’s like. You bring a lot to this forum, so this one is on me.
