lca's, panhard, and torque arms
 
has anyone made their own adjustable lca's, panhard bar, or torque arms? I plan on doing it when i get ahold of a welder. Just curious.

I havn't done it yet but if you had a pattern, just build a jig and go for it...........good luck

I boxed my LCA and panhard.

LCA's would be pretty easy, some tube, a hole saw, weld. (adjustable makes it a tad harder).

A search will find the answers you want, I do remember seeing a few people making torque arms.... I think also the idea was to not mount the front of it to the tailshaft, but to a crossmember.,..?

thats what im gonna go for with the torque arm. Shorter and mounted to a cross member connected to my sfc's. Ive got the plans drawn up in my head. Just need to take some measurements. For the lca's i want to get some tubing and get them machined on both ends for screw in rod ends so they will be adjustable. Same thing for the panhard. Just need to take some measurements off my stock stuff. Same type idea for the tubing im wanting to use for my torque arm.

Yes to all. I made aluminum tube lca's and panhard rod with rod ends. I built my torque arm out of some 3/16 thick 1x2 steel stock. Its 18" long and decouples and slides.
