control arms

[RidinLow]

whatz up fellas

i have a 1997 chev suburban bagged with ART coolride up front, i want to get the ART upper and lower control arms. MY question is would the control arms affect the backspacing?

[darren@ridetech.com]

No sir. We did however change the ball joint angle and lengthen the upper control arm though.

i can get the upper control arms from Sportruck without the balljoint and the bushing but if i went that route how can i determine what size balljoints and bushings to install?:eek: i guess that is the same if i did buy them with the balljoint and busihing installed for replacement;)

thanks

It' s a stock ball joint, but the bushings are ours. Anyone can buy them bare like that.

[RidinLow]

could a stock bushing be used also with control arms?

[darren@ridetech.com]

No. This is a poly push in bushing.

sportruck priced the control arms without balljoint and bushing.
i' m not fan of poly because it is prone to squeak
are you saying that i can get the control arms without the balljoint but it will come with the poly bushings or can i get them without the balljoint and bushing and just go to the local parts store to purchase the balljoint and bushing separately?

thanks

You could buy the ball joints seperately but poly' s might be kinda difficult. Ask sportruck about getting them with everthing, it' s probably not that much more.

cool, probably that is the best anyway

thanks, chief
