Re: Shaving lower control arm
I don't recall how much was trimmed, but it was trimmed when Beltec lowering spindles were installed and used 15" aluminum wheels... instructions clearly stated use of 16" wheels or something similar.... but... when I was on the freeway, heard/felt something unusual, pulled over to the emergency lane, nothing leaking, nothing abnormal... continued about another 1/4 mile and control arm finally snapped, wheel went into the wheel well, put almost strait into the concern barrier.
New frame, new a lot and back on the road... Id say get bigger wheels, different wheels or different wheel weights but, theirs always success stories... I just happen to have a bad one
