Let me check with Cougarman and see if he still has my old arms. They have fresh ball joints on them. I also have some FRPP 03 Cobra Arms as well.

I have a set out of an 87-88 turbo coupe. The rubber bushings are still in them.

I've got an 87/88 TC on the trailer ready to go to the junkyard with the A-arms still on it. It's a southern car with only 71K, so they should be pretty clean. If you want to roadtrip it to MN and take them off, you can have them.

Wow, sounds like an awful nice car to be going to the junker. Wrecked or something?

Hey guys it turns out that you can get the bushings with sleeves from carquest. Which given the fact that I need the parts yesterday really helps out. So turns out I can salvage my already sand blasted a-arms and just install the new sleeves I needed and I'll be able to get the parts to my mechanic who will be installing them tomorrow. Thanks for all of your help though!

bhazard, yep, it was punted in the rear, left front and sideswiped on the driver side. It makes you sick too because the driver's door bottom looks like it just rolled off the showroom, the lower edge is perfect. The only sheet metal I could salvage was the passenger fender and the trunk. A lot of the interior is pretty nice though, well, other than the cracked dash. Gee, a cracked dash on a Turbo Coupe, that's a surprise. lol

GrannysBird, cool, feel free to let me know if you need anything else, I may be able to help you out.
