Is here a nice looking shield available? These cars are known for cooking the bushings in the upper arm,passengers side. The downpipe just gives off too much heat. ...and I'm not wrapping the downpipe.

Maybe something that bolts onto those two large studs that are used to hold the arms shaft on??

I need new bushings in that control arm only,but I'd rather have something in place before I cook the new ones.
 
I put one of kirban's shield on mine also. I have a three inch down pipe and believe the bushing on that control arm is probably already cooked. Anything to get the heat away from the bushing is better than being naked. Lol. DP.
 
Agreed! I am going to try a high heat ceramic coating on the downpipe. Inside and out. Not sure if it will help, but it won't hurt...
