I need a few parts fast shipped to Australia before my roadworthy period expires in about 7 days!

Does anyone know where I can find for a 73 gmc motorhome

2 x lower ball joints
1 x drag link
2 x front stabiliser / sway bar bushes 1 1/16 inch

Applied GMC don’t have these in stock unfortunately. I can see https://fcrcmachine.com/ have them ball joints and drag link listed, but they haven’t come back to me re availability and there’s no phone number to call. I’ve also sent an email to Alex Sirum but awaiting a reply there too (I’ll give him a call when the time zones align).

Does anyone know where else I might be able to source these parts?

Thank you!

Alex

We are getting in 500 new lower ball joints in December.
The K6216 fits all Coaches
If your not aware, ALL materials are in shortage.

Thank you!

Alex,

You may have a hard time making your deadline if you buy parts.

I suggest that you call either JimK or Sirum directly and have them air freight you the updated lower control arms as an assembly.
73 LCA are already not that good.

There is a big supply issue and a price increase.
Our American dollar is not worth much now so we are paying more for
everything.
Keep on spending and buying votes.
