richie2619 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I've seen some pics on Google where people have cut the in-board end off their control arms and made them adjustable, using heim joints.The stock units seem very well built and the ones I saw looked pretty damn good.Anyone here done this?

JMortensen Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Lots of people have done it. I had a guy do mine before I had a welder. Pretty easy.

slammed_s30 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Here are mine I did. Make sure you build a jig to prevent any warping or unwanted movement, you need it to stay as square as it was from the factory.

richie2619 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 That's a great looking piece. It looks like you unbolt the rod-end, make your necessary camber adjustment and lock it down with the jamb nut when you're done.. Correct?

tube80z Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 That's a great looking piece. It looks like you unbolt the rod-end, make your necessary camber adjustment and lock it down with the jamb nut when you're done.. Correct? With that design yes. But you can also use a slightly larger bushing that allows you to have left right threads in the same piece. Generally this isn't a good place to make camber adjustments at as you also change the toe settings a lot.
