Ebay adjustable rear control arms

Postby VegaRon72 » Fri Aug 11, 2006 10:34 pm

I picked up a set of them due to a damaged left lower. I really like them so far. They seem to be built pretty well, and his service was pretty good. I'll post a couple of pic's. Give me your thoughts Guys/Gals.

I hope everyone has a killer week-end.

Ron , those look cool! if they work half as good as they look they will be sweet. And anything has got to be better than the stamped steel OE pieces.

Your danger now may be ripping out a mount :lol:

Speaking from experience I had this happen to my Vega years ago. (right rear lower control arm mount). But my underbody did not look as clean as yours.

They look nice but there is no provision for a rear sway bar. I would also be curious about the ride quality/noise with the Heim joints.

I bought and installed a set of the uppers last weekend. I really like them, but I'm also wondering how noisy they are going to be. I would not run these on both the top and bottom as then you have no play at all in the suspension. Ouch, that's a rough ride.

Well, I have found out that the lowers are too long. With them sucked all the way up, the tire is about 1/4" from the rear portion of the fender well. Not to mention the fact that my slappers really won't have a nice flat surface to come to rest on. So I think I'll try his other lowers, that are boxed, they even have grease fittings on them, and bushings. Or maybe I'll just lop an inch or two off of these and see how they do.

I like my uppers, but I wouldn't support this vendor. They are a bit shady.
