Talk to me about control arms and tubing sizing/ hard ware and mounting the upper control arm to the stock hub.
What I am thinking about using for the upper control arm any thoughts?
1-1/4 OD x .120 wall DOM
Weld In Tube Adapter 3/4-16 Thread .120 Heim Joint Tube End 1 1/4 O.D
rod ends/ heim joints, 3/4"-16 Shank/Hole
3/4" to 1/2" HIGH MISALIGNMENT SPACER HEIMS
I would like to reuse the stock hubs. However a problem with using the stock hubs is finding a way to mount the upper control arms. The stock hub uses a 2 inch strut.
I have a few ideas on mounting the upper control arms to the stock hub. But nothing that I really like yet. Anyone have any other ideas?
A) I take a piece of 2'' 120 wall DOM tubing and weld in a 3/8 plate with a 1/2 hole and mount the upper control arm using the him joint.
B) I take a piece of 2'' 120 wall DOM tubing and weld an reducer then weld in a Tube Adapter with a half inch tread. But it would make the hub taller 1-2 inches? then mount the upper control arm using the him joint.
C) I found a few pics of a offset adapter in a strut style hub that was converted to a pushrod suspension set up/ same idea as (A)
