Just discovered this while under the car this morning...cracks are not good . Sadly, there are other things in my life that have to come first so the car will be sitting for a while...can't take a chance of this breaking while on the road

The other side is fine. One of the previous owners rebuilt most of the suspension which is why everything else looks pretty new...around 5,000 miles on the stuff. Daytona6938622.5080439815

You're not the first person who mentioned the reciprocating saw. I'll probably end up doing both sides so I won't ever have to deal with this type of thing again.Daytona6938622.589375

Vette(s): 1969 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Just bought it from my uncle who owned it since 1971. Fathom green, green interior. 350/300, T400.

Matt,

I replaced mine last winter. www.vtechcorvette.com  They were $250 per side, powder coated, stainless park brakes, etc. I'm very happy with them.

Good Luck,

Matt

Yah,thats probably the way to go,instead of replacing just the arms,do the whole shot,it's a PIA breaking the hub away from the arm,they come all assembled and ready to install
