Control Arms are done
 

Damn, the thread I had started went to archive, oh well. Anyways I finally finished my control arms; I just got them back from the powder coater today. I don’t have pictures yet but I’ll have some tomorrow. I’m hoping to get it all back together by the weekend so I can finally drive it again (it’s only been 4 ½ months).





Someone had asked me about weight compared to the stock arms, the lowers are 2 pounds less and weigh 17 lbs, and the uppers are 1 ½ pounds less and weigh 14 ½ pounds.

VERY NICE! WHAT IS AN ESTIMATE ON MATERIAL COST?:metal:

Re: Control Arms are done
 

looks good

Re: Control Arms are done
 

About $150 for both sets. Not counting the jigs, probably another $75 for them.

Re: Control Arms are done
 

They look "store bought". Excellent job!!

Re: Control Arms are done
 

Cool...:metal:

Well will you make me a set . but for bags those look like there for springs

Re: Control Arms are done
 

Are those stock geometery?I recall a member here built a jig using stock arms and was going to build his own tubulars from that.That was some time ago though and I never saw the final outcome.They look great!

Re: Control Arms are done
 

Very nice congrats on the good work.

Re: Control Arms are done
 

If I recall, this is one & the same. He didn't need the geometry changed- just wanted tubular arms to replace his 'less than quality' worn stockers.

Re: Control Arms are done
 

Yeah that was probably me, I started these months ago. The arms are set for stock with springs. I’m hoping to get them on tomorrow, I started out today putting on a new power steering pump and had to replace a lot more, so I’ll be looking to get started sometime in the after noon or so.




Let me try these out for a while before I start thinking about making them for any one else.

Re: Control Arms are done

Re: Control Arms are done
 

Are those bushings and joints you used for the stock arms ?

DOM tubing, or turned down ?

Re: Control Arms are done
 

Actually, I can see the step in there...

Good job.
