tubular upper control are question?

I managed to get 3.5* positive caster on both wheels with the moog offset bushings

I'm planning on building a jig for my new K-Frame project and just bought a pair of these from Peter.

Not sure how "durable/streetable" these will be but I will use them to mock up parts on my jig.

I've got a set of the SPC arms that are about to go on my Duster. According to Peter he's been running them for a few years now, and while I don't think he puts as many street miles on his car as I do (usually about 10k miles a year) he definitely drives it more than a lot of folks to, and he usually visits several road courses a year. The delrin bushings should last a really long time. The only mild concern I have is the longevity of all the hardware holding everything together, but the SPC arms have been around for a long time for other applications (chevys ). I managed to find a couple of issues with them on the 'net, but the only failures I can find were related directly to improper installation.

That's not bad at all!

I have the same concerns, but Peter said I worry to much or something to that effect.  I wondered/asked about changing out the hardware every couple of years or something?

Lol, figures!

I think I'm just going to add them to my list of "things to torque periodically". As long as the bolt holes aren't going egg shaped it shouldn't be an issue, and they shouldn't do that as long as everything is properly torqued right?

I bought myself a set of alignment turn plates, so I can do complete alignments now without having to bother taking it into a shop. Figure I can check that periodically now, and if anything starts to go oblong it should show up in the alignment. With the SPC arms being double adjustable it will make it a ton easier to accomplish any necessary adjustments too.

  I just bought a set of Long Acre Turning Plates a few weeks ago. Already had a caster/camber gauge and toe plates for years now.
