I'm sure they are there. Look carefully at the frame where the long bolt
goes through the control arm bushings. If needed, the part number is
251-407-133A. They used to be available in different thicknesses to
compensate for different bushings.

Subject: Upper Control Arm:

Hey now Folks,
I sure enjoyed my bus, and all of the trips I've taken in it,
but... At this time, I have every speck of suspension and front end out
of
her....
And I have grave doubts, that I can fit all of the pieces back in...
I hope the wheels still point in the right direction... :)
The question I`d like to put out, is on the
Eccentric washer on the upper control arm shaft in the upper control
arm...
(of course :)
Upon removal, I noticed that my bus did not have any eccentric washers
at
all...
It`s an 85 westy.
What exactly do they adjust and should my particular bus have them?
Are they dealer only?
Does anyone on the list have any experience with this matter?
Thanks, as always!
