I had a heck of a time finding four good TR4 A-arms (trunnion pin had worn 
through all my bushes and into the cast iron arms on my old car)
I drove about a hundred miles (closest big Brit Yard to pick out the 'best 
four' from about 30 arms in a pile. Even though bushings and thrust washer 
surfaces were great  shape all four are slightly tweaked (bent) one way or 
the other and I have to straighten them an 1/16" here, 3/16ths" there and 
then rebush them. I paid $100 for the four.
You might want to give straightening a try unless it's really wrecked. They 
are a bit hard to find in perfect shape and they do have 'wear' areas.

Has anyone, by any chance, got an A Arm they're willing to part with.
I'm restoring my '60 3A and need the 'Left Rear/Right Front' A Arm - the one 
I have has been smacked at some point and is distorted.
Many Thanks,
Mike
