Control Arms
So while removing my bushings, I somehow managed to bend one of my upper control arms. Should I bend it back or just buy another one?
Also, track bros, does anyone bother with adjustable control arms? I realize they're geared mostly toward the herrafrush crowd, but is there any benefit to running a set of them? :party: |
V8R doesn't cater to the hellaflush crowd, yet they carry them. I need to order a set but keep putting it off.

I got NB front upper and lower arms in flawless shape if you need em. Holler at me bro
|
And I'm shorting mine permanently (open the weld on one side of the bushing tubes, compress them and re-weld), when I need to replace one due to the ball joints crapping out (have not bent an arm yet).
That's the "easy" way to get -3.5 in front camber on a NB, bending the arms equally is harder :) |
Adjustable control arms are not necessary for track use. Tubular control arms will drop weight, but definitely not a necessity.
Buy another used upper arm, I've got some as well. PM me if interested. |
Hey porn star, you still haven't said which control arm you raped with the press.
|
sorry baby boy, I bent one of the front upper ones. I bent the two "feet" of the A inward.
|
I think that's a 50/50 chance when youre using that bushing press out method. I'll most likely be burning those ones out when the time comes.

Some pb blaster also seems to make it easier.

I would not reuse the control arm.
