Are front control arms different length stock?


Recommended Posts

is there an offset in hte crossmember from factory to accomodate for uneven lower control arms in the front? or am I smoking something really good? My front left tire sticks out 1/2" more out than the front right. I haven't measured anything yet, but I recall reading something about the control arms being different lengths? Am I right, or wrong?

Alex, I've chopped up over 80 control arms in the process of making my adjustable mod to them. I've never noticed a difference in length... There might be in the 510 units, which are almost identical in appearance... But I'm pretty sure all 70-78 control arms are the same, based on what I've seen.

Mike :D

Control arms are generally the same length although production tolerances sometimes build up and you'll occaisionally find one arm that's, maybe, .125" longer then another. When you're measuring track width for each side measure from the lower control arm mounting bolt center. Don't measure from any body panels - they are most likely off to some degree.
