Homemade control arms
So I got into an accident last week and all 4 of my control arms were destroyed. I would like to build my own adjustable ones, but I'm not sure on what lengths to make everything. My welding skills are good. I wI'll be using a MIG. I'm mainly wanting to do this to possibly aleviate a slight "death shimmy" from 48-52 MPH.
Suggestions? And just so yall know, it is my daily driver and won't see much time offroad. And when it is offroad, it will be in light mud. No flexing needed.
Thanks!

I'd check the mounts on the axle as well. Stock ones aren't known to be all that strong and like stated earlier, if you destroyed the control arms other things are bad as well.

Go to Ruffstuff's website and look at the short arms they build. Make some just like those and use whatever joints you want to. I'd to a rubber and JJ.
