1963-82 Chevy Corvette Control Arm Mounting Diagram - Upper & Lower A-Arm

This document is a labeled exploded-view diagram titled "63-82 Control Arm Mounting," covering the front control arm mounting arrangement for 1963–1982 Chevrolet Corvettes. The line drawing shows the upper A-arm and lower control arm area of the front suspension with callouts identifying key components: the upper A-arm, stud, shims used for alignment on the upper shaft, bushing retainers (shown at both the upper and lower arms), the upper and lower shafts, the nut plate, the lower control arm bracket with gusset, and the mount bolts. An inset photograph in the upper-right corner shows an "Original-Style Upper Ball Joint" as installed on the vehicle. A reader can learn how the upper and lower control arms attach to the chassis, where alignment shims are placed on the upper shaft, how bushing retainers and nut plates are positioned, and what the factory-original riveted-style upper ball joint looks like. The diagram contains no part numbers, torque specifications, or written instructions—only component identification labels—making it useful primarily for identifying parts during front suspension disassembly, rebuild, or restoration work on C2 and C3 Corvettes.
