I wanted to rebuild the frontend on my truck, so I made a few phone calls to some Isuszu dealers. All the dealers have gone out of buisness in Boise, Id and 2 in Salt Lake City, Ut. I've heard some of the members hear talk about the brake up of Chevy and Isuszu, but nothing in detail. Can somebody tell me what happened. I am sure you can get A-arm bushings that will interchange off of some other Isuszu model. But without the dealer, the options dont look so good to find those parts. Thanks :(

The rumor I heard is that Isuzu will no longer sell in the US due to low sales.
What year is your truck? I've seen bushings for sway bars on the 2wd.
Try searching a parts store online like Napa.

Upper control arms off a pup or early trooper will fit your Luv, the bushing's and ball joints may be still available. :idea:

My truck is a 75. I thought bushings off of a trooper would fit. I was sure I could still get ball joints, I just thougt the bushings for the A arms would be a factory item. I will try Napa. Thanks.

try http://www.rareparts.com. they say if they dont stock them, they will build them. I have not given them a try yet but you never know. and I think they cost a bit more but its worth it for those are to fined parts. let us know what you fined out.
