Default Part # for 1LE LCA ?

I'm thinking about getting a set of 1le solid rubber bushing factory lower control arms for my Z28. Does anyone know the part number so I could order from my local GM dealership ? Thanks!

I thought that the actual metal u stamped control arm was the same between cars. It's just the bushings that are different?

That could be right for sure since I don't know. So maybe I just need the part number for the bushings ?

Are you referring to the front lower control arm bushings, or the rear ones?

I just know they will help eliminate wheel hop and give a little more traction. That's what I'm trying to accomplish and wanted to use the 1LE bushings.

The "Moog Chassis" brand part number is K6178 and they appear like the image below:



Depending on where you decide to source your parts from, there will be a host of several other "brand" names and parts numbers. The majority of the parts numbers should cross reference to the "Moog Chassis" or "McQuay-Norris/Raybestos" ones. From my experience, they're all practically the exact same quality, fit, etc. Even those "store brand" ones (e.g. Duralast, NAPA, etc.) should be sourced from the same factories.

Just make sure that they're the ones that are "completely filled" as opposed to the ones that are fluted (which appear like they have "holes" and came stock on many cars).

EDIT: I do believe they come two per package, so if you're changing both rear trailing arms, then you'll need 2 packs for a total 4 bushings.

I found a pair in stock at a local NAPA store a while ago. They were labled with the same Harris markings as the Moog parts I had.
