BlackEco : Project A Arms
Sunday, December 25, 2005 10:28 PM
I wanted to get some A Arm bushings to reduce wheel hop on the track, but since the install is sort of a pain in the butt, I decided to revamp and entire set of arms so I can just simply drop and swap next spring when it warms up.
I got the arms for 40 bucks from junkyard, and ordered the bushings from CarCustoms (Thanks Karo!)
Here is the finished product, if you want to see more you can click on my sig I have pics from start to finish. Cant wait till next season to try them out. Enjoy

They look good and the great part is they're not that RK crap that might get you killed.

Good job

Are they coated or painted? Can you do me a huge favor and measure the center to center of the bushings?

They are powder coated, a little dirty from getting the bushing grease on them. I thought about welding that seam just so I could grind it down and give it a better appearance but opted not to at the time, I was just happy to get the old bushings out
