Re: rear control arm ?

Had the trailing arm twist bad on my 97 (probably same arm on a third) I know for fact this isn't jacking damage. Anyways went to hardware stor and bought these spacers and bolts and yes it made a noticeable difference.

Suppose you could even box them to make them just as strong as any after-market part.

They will be better than stock. That is just another ebay company, I would advise against that you be nice and get them from Founders, Spohn, BMR or UMI since they are our sponsors. We know their quality is good and their prices are great, probably the same as that ebay company.

Just an FYI: Some lower control arms were reinforced at the factory. Check the following link:
