Would a tubular LCA with Rubber Bushings allow for some articulation?

Bryan, who are you referring to?

Looks pretty good. Wish you guys had this before I bought this: http://www.foundersperformance.com/p...trol-Arms.html

I just put them on for the second time and am not liking the oversteer problem on highway turns. Do you have a "trade in" program so that I can get those?

In "hiltsy"s case, he went a step further than I did, and made them adjustable.(excellent idea) I simply made mine to "OE length".
Exactly right. I measured the bore of the stock LCA and machined a steel sleeve to match.
