Hey all, I'm rebuilding the front suspension in my Monte Carlo, and one of the cool things that GM did is use the same front lower A-arms for the G-body and F-body. Does anyone know what the part numbers are for the stiffer 1LE bushings? I'd love a set of Del-A-Lums, but I really can't afford it since I still need to buy Bilsteins and more front end hardware (tierods, centerlink, etc). I figure the stock rubber ones have lasted 17 years, so new rubber ones will be much better. Thanks in advance!

If I'm reading correctly, TPI, you want a part number for the front control arm bushings. Does a 1LE version exist? Andy, I believe the number you've provided is for the front 1LE sway bar bushing.

I heard that they use special lower A-arm bushings as well. Maybe that was on the 4th gen 1LEs?

I ran the quoted part number through GM-Parts Direct and it says it is a bushing, but does not list its use or location. Anyone else with ideas? Maybe I should e-mail GM Parts and see if they can tell the specific application from the part number?

The information is available on this board. All you have to do is look for it.

1LE Supension part numbers
With all of the talk about the 1LE brakes lately, I thought it might be of interest to post the 1LE suspension numbers F.Y.I. I have verified most of these numbers at gmpartsdirect.com, and for now, they are still available. So, here goes:

14039483 Lower Control Arm Bushing-Front
14039484 Lower Control Arm Bushing-Rear
14089443 Lower Control Arm Bumper
14029396 Front Spring
22064184 Strut (Replaces original #22064153)
10136865 Strut Mount-Left
14106736 Strut Mount-Right
464167 Stabilizer Bar Links
14094389 Stabilizer Bar Insulators-Front
14094344 Stabilizer Bar 36mm
10018091 Rear Spring
10164151 Lower Control Arm
22064149 Shock Absorber
10035033 Stabilizer Bar 24mm
10037104 Stabilizer Bar Insulators-Rear

I hope this might help you out.

Thank IROB for this info.

I checked the illustrated parts catalogue, 82-91 and there's only one part number that I can see for all Camaros, 14039483.

When I did my upgrade I just said the heck with it. And used Energy Suspension Poly bushings.

On those part #'s.....are you talking about the control arms on rear axle or the A-arms in the front suspension? Looks like TPI Monte wants the A arm bushings?

14039483 And 14049484 are both for the front "A" arm.

most of those part#'s are just WS6 part #'s.
those rear springs aren't even available anymore. They been replaced with 4th gen springs.

I posted all the 1LE bushing part numbers on a thread in this suspension section called "1LE front bushings". I also included all the list prices from GM---moxman

FYI, 1LE had 25mm rear sway bars, not 24mm. Can 25mm ones be gotten from GM?

The 1LE sways I put on my car are as follows:

Hollow 36 mm front and solid 24 mm rear. Part numbers are listed above for the 36/24 combo. Did GM ever make a 25 mm rear?

JamesC

i'm 99% sure there was a 25mm bar but only on 1LE cars and 1LEs did not ever have the 24mm bar.

Strange, I've never heard of a 25 mm rear. All the info that I've gathered on this board and elsewhere states that the rear 1LE bar is 24 mm. I have one on my car and should be receiving another set or two late this week or early next. I'll simply measure when I have a moment.

according to this the 25mm bars are existent but rare.

The part # for 1LE rear control arm bushings is 10164152. I got the # from an engineer at SLP.
