New control arms for a 71 Challenger
« on: September 19, 2016 - 03:40:16 AM »
Hi guys, I'm searching for a set of control arms for my 71 Challenger : lower and upper control arms with new ball joints and bushings (urethan would be cool, or else rubber). Where to buy those ? Which brand do you advise ?

The original design really is quite good. You can stiffen them up if you want also. So with that said why not just put new bushings and ball joints on the ones you have? It would cost a lot less that way even if you need to buy the tools.

You can do the entire front suspension with these. :2cents:
