Pics of new control arms

Finally got around to putting in my control arms. Also installed Hotchkiss strut tower brace and TDS wonder bar recently nice tight feel on the road now. Next is putting in my Eibach Pro's, and Edelbrock runners and headers can't wait. Just need it to stop raining long enough to get the work done.

Pro-Fab used to be called performance automotive, you can check them out at www.profabracing.com Prices are very competitive. As far as the sway bar it is a GM 24mm rear and 36mm front I just powder coated them. Bushings are all energy suspension.

The link will work, if

I know the design is exactly like exhaust clamps but I never measured them so not sure if they are 3" or not. I cleaned mine up and powder coated them when I did the sway bar and bushings probably 6 months ago. This car has 153K on the clock doesn't see many rainy days and never snow so it has stayed fairly rust free underneath. Just spray the hell out of your bolts with liquid wrench or an equivalent a day before you pull them off that should help free up the rusty bolts.



PS fixed the link above so it should work now!
