Mikelly Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 Mark, Rubin, Mike M. and Danno will get their control arms shipped out by end of this week (That being this coming Friday the 2nd) If not sooner. I welded up the first hald of the two part units today (Almost used 1/2 a bottle of Argon) and I can't do anymore... I'm tired and my feet hurt. I'll be doing some more on each set pretty much all week and sending each set out when I'm finished with each set... I got them all to a point where I can deal with them individually. Now, when you get them you will notice a few things... The control arm bushing out by the strut assembly will need to besized down to fit. I did this by hand and using a bench grinder and rolling them a little at a time. You will have to size them for depth fitting as well. Your inboard bushings will work just fine as is. These units are beefy and should be bomb proof but PLEASE check the frequently. I've done everything I can do to make sure they'll work. But you will have to do your part as well. Check them to be safe the first few hundred miles and after a track event crawl under the car (You should be checking the car out anyway after and event) and give them the once over. They may fit tight on the strut assembly, as I wanted to make them as close to tolerance as possible. However, I tried several different strut assemblies and one thing I notice is there is slight differences in each tube. The mount at the strut will close in and tighten if yours fit loosely. I also recommend greasing the turnbuckle when you bolt it all together. I will probably ship them disassembled, depending on size of box.
