Company that will make custom control arms?
There are no tubular control arms made that match my car.
Does anyone know of a company that will make custom tubular control arms to match a drawing.
Thanks

Lots of companies do, it's not cheap at all! Most won't build them unless they see and agree to the geometry you have built into the front suspension----in our sue happy world opens up too many liability issues!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Have you tried talking to the big shops that deal in IFS components, like FatMan, TCI, Heidts, Morrison, Kugel, etc? Like Dave mentioned, I'm not sure that anyone reputable is going to build you A-arms without seeing the integrated design to be sure the geometry works, and reviewing and analyzing your custom layout likely wouldn't be free. It may be that if you give them your basic dimensions of track, wheelbase, and steering angles they can package something from parts they build normally?Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Was hoping someone new of a company that caters to custom arms.
