73-87 DJM control arms concern

Hey guys,

I just wanted to drop by and give you my experience with DJM suspension parts I have had recently.

I ordered a pair of DJM upper control arms from Summit Racing for 230, over half as much as the Strong Arms. You really get what you pay for with these parts. The pre-drilled ball joint flange was miss aligned, weak, warped and unsafe. The supplied ball joints with the kit, were substandard. Even the nuts and bolts stripped when putting the kit together.

I strongly advise that you think about the quality of the suspension parts that you install on your truck and avoid DJM. I feel that I am justified writing this as I gave JDM multiple e-mails to correct this issue. I ultimately sent back the parts after Summit and expressing my concerns without reply.

Mods, you can move this to the suspension thread, but I think this applies most of all to the 73-87 guys.

Thank you
