NB vs NA lower control arms.

Any difference besides sway bar mounting point? And can I use my NA sway links with the single shear NB mounting point?

 

Nbs are like a ball joint thing right? Do you have spherical end links? Or rubber? I would not recommend the rubber in single shear.

 

Yes. I have the rubber. Ugh, did not want to add another thing to the list.

 

oi man, how you break so much stuff??

 

 

weld another tab on before PC? I know you have the technology.

 

I'm just gonna get some more adjustable end links.

 

there is one answer: sawzall

 

FM sells the weld-on tabs for cheap enough: Lower Control Arm Reinforcement Flanges for 99-05 - Racing Beat

Not sure if the NA stock end links will work with them.

Weld tabs

The above is just an example. Or hell, get some hex stock + buy the end links and make up a set yourself

Rod ends

 

When I did the NA->NB subframe swap I swapped front UCAs and kept the LCAs, they're the same from what I recall except that endlink tab PITA. That's why I didn't bother swapping them :P

 

 

I got a little excited

 

Got a new sticker

And made another shift ****

 

Omg bring some scotch bright with you next time for christs sake. These have hideous surface finish.

 

I thought the same thing, but figured it wasn't worth telling him

 

These are steel
Scotchbrite is useless. I tried. Sandpaper would have helped.

They are getting sand blasted and powder coated.

 

This guy. All day every day. I cant remember a time when he didn't recommend a sawzall as a solution.
