hey
actually to everyone or anyone that was asking.. dont buy arc fabrications control arms, first problem with them are there are not any grease fittings at all in them. second when ever you put them on even though i put grease on the bushings they still squeak like hell going down the road and they fit so tight and with no give they make the rear end ride choppy as hell its really stiff and uncomfortable. i think i am going to order the rough country x joint ends and use those ends on the arc control arms. my 2 cents and thoughts on the 280 dollar upper and lower control arms.. there junk
