Has anyone seen these?

I'm trying to get some more info from the seller. So far he has confirmed they do come with the bushings/ball-joint and they are brand new.

I know A and B cross over for some years don't they, or was that only the spindle? A quick googling shows that is the right part# 3722460 for the A body 73-76 bits, but if someone has a 73+ parts book can they confirm?

Asking him for an actual picture not just the generic in the auction.

F body is a TOTALLY different type of UCA. (the way it connects to the K member)

H'm. Incorrectly-described item, seller who won't show you the actual item, $150 the pair...lessee here...regroup, carry the one...yep, it adds up to Chinese trash, by my math.

I have them on my Valiant. The UCAs are very nicely made, well finished and cleanly stamped. They are made in Mexico and seem to be good quality.

The bushings are made in USA but they are nasty cheap stuff. One of mine on the right is already squeaking.

The balljoints appear to be average-quality aftermarket, made in Spain. Nothing special, but not terrible, they at least fit precise and have quality hardware.

So, I would say the control arms appear to be better than some rusty old junkyard parts, but careful with the bushings.

Weren't the year and car models mentioned in the eBay ad Mexican models (i.e. 73-76 Super Bee)?

Yes, I believe that if you read the description with an eye to Mexico models it makes more sense. But the Volare stuff is still wrong...
