after the 3 tries of getting it on, i like it. but i dont think it likes me.

i swear, 1st try was 9hrs, 2nd was 4hrs, and today bam 30 min and i got the front bolt on.

i was running the stock one with this one's new poly bushing and it felt still, but its a little stiffer now with the new arm.

heres a shot of the control arm angle. it stays about the same angle with the suspension loaded.

i had even tougher of a time, the part that bolts to the pumkin wouldnt go on, like it would but only about 1/2 inch so i sanded down the powder coating on the insides, slit right on and fit like a gloves... then comes the fun part...

the fron bolt took me 3 days.... about 6 hours a day, then on the 4th day one of my freinds, who was tired if me bitching about trying to get it on came over, and first try! bam in and tightened.... :bang: :bang: :bang:

yes that front bolt for the pumpkin! took me 2 days!

i grinded the hell out of the powdercoating and one of the brackets to get it to fit.

ryan from UMI told me to grease the rear end mount, so i went to my grease bucket and grabbed a whole hand full, more grease than you would use jergens to go on a date with pamela handerson :jest: and after applying that to the rear i was able to line up the rear bolt only. so i said fuck it, drove on 1 bolt for 30 seconds to move the car over, then today just picked any place to set the jack on the pumpkin and BAM got the stock bolt through the top front hole, and tapped it with a hammer to get it all the way through the bottom. couldnt find the other UMI replacement bolt so i used the stocker.

i used the stockers too, the UMI pieces look alot nicer and thinker/safer, but they just wouldnt go in
