home made control arms
has any one done this ????
I search for post and found nothing (if I did it wrong let me know )
I plan on using 4 in springs all the way around and want to fab up the control arms
also want to see what you all think of this (is it worth it)
I plan on dom tubing 1 7/8 x .120 wall with hiems joints on one end

Old fart with a wrench
Just be sure to use quality hiem joints, like those used in aircraft. Cheap ones won't last long. I used a hiem link for my rear swaybar when I autocrossed my Camero. After breaking several, I used aircraft joints. Then I ripped the mounting brackets out of the frame.

I use ruff stuff heims in my steering and they are fantastic, and they are priced fairly.
