Held/Arraut used to make repros. Now that The Fiero Factory has bought them out, they will probably have them available when they re-start production of those pieces.

Woah! This is epic news! My SLALOM front suspension needs some parts refreshed...

Ask for them in the mall or on some of the facebook parts groups, call up the Fiero Factory, or reach out to your local 88 Fiero parts hoarder. |

Great call Guru. Found a set at a good price in record time. Thanks.

I have a question about front control arm bushings. I ordered some online for my 88 . The ones I received were the item shown. The bolt hole is the correct size, but the O.D. is 30mm. My lower control arms take 45mm. The question is did they send bushings for the wrong year or do I have an earlier front suspension? I don't know if 84-87s take a different size bushing or if Rock auto just dropped the ball. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Daryl

Never mind! I figured it out. These are for the upper arm.

Worked on the rear sway bar arm today. One done, one to do. If my questionable welding holds up, they might just work.

Got the bracket on the driver's side done. Still need to fabricate the frame mounts and get the correct length link bolts and paint. Gotta have paint to hide the ugly welds, but it seems to be coming right along.

Finally finished the rear sway bar. I used a torsion bar from a 1989 Isuzu Trooper. Total cost came to about $65.

Have you test fit sliding the rear cradle bolts in place yet?

The sway bar will have to be removed and reinstalled after the cradle is in place.
