mfg Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 One nice thing about owning Studebakers/Avantis is the interchangeability of many chassis parts!.....For example, a lower control arm removed from a 1956 President will perfectly interchange with a lower control arm for a '63 Avanti.......True?

r1lark Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I'll side with Gary on this, since you said "perfectly". There is a part number change between '56 and '57, and '57 is the same as Avanti. I think the difference has to do with the sway bar mounts, so I think you could easily modify the '56 lower arm to use on an Avanti. But.......you said perfectly so I'll take that to mean no modifications required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 it's the lower shock mount that is different. False Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
