Thread: Control Arms

Tweet

Shine brings up a good point about the offset upper shafts. I think I would make an appointment with an alignment shop just to pull the truck on the alignment rack and see if there will be enough adjustment on the stock shafts to align it after the ball joints and bushings are changed (they should be able to tell you unless the components are REALLY in bad shape (and shouldn't charge you too much to look at it. You really don't want to pull the upper arms off a second time to change the shafts out.

i use the offsets on every clip even though i install them level with the chassis. they all end up hugging the weeds anyway. camaros sat nose high to begin with .

What is the reason for tall spindles & ball joints?

Using an extended upper ball joint will allow the joint to sit a little higher than stock and with a little more angle to the a-arm as viewed from the front of the car. This will introduce more negative camber into the tire on a turn to prevent the car "rolling the tire over" onto its sidewall in a turn, allowing the tread of the tire to remain more parallel with the driving surface for better traction and cornering ability.

I hope this answers your question. If this is not what you were asking, please ask again in another way.
