I was headed home after about 3 miles at 55mph and was about 1/2 block from my house and the left upper control arm broke just inboard of the ball joint. Luckily I was able to get it into my drive but I need a replacement. Does anyone have one they would part with? I live in York, Ne. (at the intersection of I80 and Highway 81)

They are available rebuilt at Autozone for about $259.99 for the passenger side I would call a store and see if the drivers side is available

I looked on the page you referred and all the upper control arms were labeled "fits 1980 Buick estate wagon"

We might have one in the Lemons stash if you can't find one.

I didn't refer to any page. I referenced a Web site www.car-part.com
Go to that site, then put in what vehicle, and the part you are looking for. It searches for salvage yards that have the part.

I apologize, I did something wrong when I looked. I looked again and got the listings I need.

THANK YOU

No problem. I use that site a lot. A good resource for hard to find used parts.
