: Boxing in trailing/control arms CHVYPWR 02-23-2003, 01:55 AM Anybody box in their rear control & trailing arms? It's more within the budget to do this instead of buying the overpriced aftermarket ones. Just curious if anybody had some input/experience with this. I'll be adding new bushings too. Elkzzilla 02-23-2003, 06:14 AM tried it on my 78 years back used I beleve 1 1/2 X 3 retagular tubing in side them and later 1/4 in flat stock to close them up worked pertty good stopped the wheel hop :wink: hope it helps give it a try all yougot to loss is the hop CHVYPWR 02-24-2003, 01:00 AM I figured I'd give it a try, I can't see paying $500ish for aftermarket units :roll: Where do they come up with those unreal prices! With my future plans it'll probably be well worth the little time it takes to do this. Fla72_402 02-24-2003, 05:22 PM Chev, Go to Chevelles.com and search for 'rear control arms' in the suspension forum. There is a good blow-by-blow on this mod. Good luck CHVYPWR 02-24-2003, 06:30 PM Cool, thanks, I'll do that! AHSOM70 02-24-2003, 11:59 PM Check my post in the BS forum here... There is a group purchase going on for the BMR Fabrications Tubular rear control arms... they are like $130 for the pair... And that includes the bushings. A lot cheaper than the high priced global west & hotchkis stuff, but just as good. Worth a look... I ordered a set for my 70 elky... Ask me in about a month how well they work.. i should have them installed by then... theelcaminofactory 02-25-2003, 09:12 AM Hey AHSOM thanks for the info on this. Took a look at BMR's sight and they look like they make some quality parts and at very reasonable prices too. | ||
