Hello Folks,

I recently had my 2wd 84 converted to PS. Got a little carried away and replaced everything under the front of the van. Van had less than 90K miles on the odometer so components are in good shape. This is from a California vehicle so not rusty. Parts are presently located in Colma which is a few miles from downtown San Francisco, CA. Shipping is not included in the prices. Available are as follows:

1) Both upper control arms. Replaced bushings less than 500 miles ago but left it sitting for 5 years. Other than whatever wear and tear it took to remove them, they should be usable. $30 each or $50 for both sides.

2) Lower control arms. These are the stamped steel variety. You rustbelt folks have a great opportunity to get rid of those crusty pieces for $30 each of $50 for the pair.

3) Sway bar with cast steel drop links. Includes both drop links. I've seen single droplinks for sale for less than my asking price for the whole thing. This is from a manual steering 2wd van so keep that in mind. $50

4) Steering knuckles (non-PS) complete with front brake rotors, backing plates, and brake calipers. $100 sold as a pair.

5) Manual steering rack. For those who prefer "HE-MAN" steering, get it here for a measly $50. Includes tierods.

6) Front springs. I swapped over to Carat springs. Want to give your later model Westy a mild lift? I can email pics of springs side by side with the Carat ones so you can see the difference. $50.

Thanks for your attention.

-- BenT
