I am having a big problem with my control arms concerning bushing alignment. I have poly bronze bushings but when I tighten the control arm up it binds. My guess is the front end is bent/twisted. Any suggestions?

Poly bronze bushings aside, the problem predated the bushings. I think the alignment of the mounting points is off. I do have a V8 and have cut out the fender wells. I not saying the control arm wont move its just much tighter than it should be. I would think it would have a smoother action. The points are just binding, I guess I will need to install some struts from the shock towers down to the pan. I can weld in some threaded areas so I can push or pull the alignment back to where it should be. |
