New control arms!
Just put a new set of rear control arms. Theyre supposed to twist to keep the tires in contact with the road. It uses "Poly ball" 3 piece bushings. Didn't get to drive it too much because of traffic but it should work, What do you guys think?

I guess no one has tried them yet? They are made by J&M.

I was considering getting the same style LCA from Founders Performance. How much did you give for those beautys? Founders wants like 109 and some change for theirs.

Re: New control arms!
Those aren't the same. Eagle223usa arms have the mono-ball joint on both sides. The ones you have pictured only have them on one side.

Yes you are right, these LCA's are not identical to his. I noticed that a little late but the general concept is the same in both, preventing the LCA's from binding when the body rolls.

Re: New control arms!
could just get the double rod ended LCAs and call it a day. I havent noticed much increase in road noise/vibrations from the rear suspension and mine is all rod ended UMI stuff.

I didn't want to go with Hiem joints because the streets here suck!
