I just made a new set of fully adjustable lower control arms for my Chevelle. They are stronger and lighter then any readily available for about half the price!! Much lighter then stock boxed. I love fabbing!

scotty, what kind of tubing is that? And just a stupid comment, but will the rod ends be tigged, or migged in place? They look good, now you just need 8 spacers to take up the missing space from the old control arms. Did you get the material from a speedway shop? Daren

The tubing is Chromoly 4130, the ends are Chromoly 4130 Teflon lined rod ends. I got the stuff locally. I will be tig welding them tomorrow.

scotty, post a pic when you get them installed, they look great. Daren

I finished them. I also weighed them arm to arm.

Stock boxed lower control are - 6.2 lbs. each

4130 Tubular - 3.6 lbs. each

Nice.

Some people box the lower conntrol arms to help eliminate wheel hop or for better traction.

How do these double adjustable arms compare traction wise?

Brian

You cannot get a better control arm then these for strength and adjustably. You can adjust to your needs. That is why I went this route.

Look great, What about the sway bar mounting points?

LK

I did not put provisions for sway bar on the arms, I will be using a real anti roll bar instead of a sway bar.

What are you using for spacers? Making or buying?

I am making spacers out of tubing .

I was looking at Wolfe Race Craft www.wolferacecraft.com. Are you going to be running a anti roll bar like that? I was thinking of going that way myself, but dont know how that would be on the street.

Nice job on the bars! With the job you did on the turbos, I bet this was a peice of cake for you! - Ron

Ya, little stuff like the arms, is super easy to make.

A wolf bar is not made to turn. Meaning road race. In my protouring car, it has to turn as fast is is goes straight(REALLY FAST) I will be using a bar that is not so stiff. The car will attach to the 12 bolt with the rod ends going to the frame rails.

could you explain in greater detail? Not really following you here. How is it differnt from the Wolfe design?

Same basic design as there camaro kit, but with a more flexible torsion tube.
