DIY - Replace Rear Upper Control Arms (Track Arms)

[chaudanova]

Wow, congrats on the new arms!

[BobMarley1]

I was wondering how the installation went.

I'll be changing mine as soon as the temperature warms up.

Question:

What price difference was it between the stock and the aftermarket ones?

I looked them up on eBay, but none were listed.

thanks

Price difference is big... Pacific Porsche sells the Control Arm for $511.76 with tax, thats $1023.52 for a set.

DelubozParts sells them for $269.99 a set. Thats a $753.53 price difference for a set.

He doesnt sell them yet to the public, I was the test guinea pig... im one satisfied pig

Thanks man, I've contacted the seller in order to notify me once these go public.

thanks again for the pics and write up procedures.

No problem, I was worried that my Write-Up would have been the worst Write-Up in DIY history.

Can you explain why not tighten the Lock Nut on the FORK-END?

cause when your installing the track arm, you want some wiggle room and if you tighten the lock nuts before installing, you'll have a hard time getting the screw holes lined up.

CJ,
Didn't notice the need to separate the ball joint from the control arm as it says in the Bentley manual. Did I miss something?
Thanks.

Nope, Theres no need for that, the control arm just falls right out once the 2 bolts are taken out
