Anyone have spare stock control arms? That they are willing to give or barrow to test this out?

If my buddy hasn't taken his p/u to the dump, I can ask him to grab the stock LCA's that I threw in there.

I have had the same control arms for maybe just under 2 years.



What Spacer? I know there are the bump stops right by the disk to stop the axle from going higher in the car, but there are spacers there? I have never seen them?
Th control arm bolts dont need to be that tight...if they are too tight the poly end wont flex as easily.Are the poly ends greased?

If you take off the rear tire look just above the rotor under the body and you will see the rubber bump stop, usually they have about a 3/4 to 1" aluminum spacer.

The Poly end which is on the Body side is not as tight as the Rod end.

I know where the bump stop is, and no there is no Spacer there. I dont believe ANY f-body came stock except maybe the SLP edition ones bc SLP is the company that sells those spacers.

If you can find your stock arms ill go get them.
