Default Adjustable rear upper control arm

A friend of mine fabricated these for me...

I probably wont be installing these anytime soon, cause I'm still deciding on the proper damper setup to go with.


let me know what you guys think, he was curious to see if any other s2k peeps would be interested.

he is in the process of fabricating a adjustable front upper control arm also.


I will provide a thorough detailed specification of materials used when i see him on monday the 26th.

Thumbs up

I was thinking of having some one make something like this for me!

Will OEM geometry be kept with these arms?

How much?

I'm interested in front and rears. Please find out prices etc. and the geometry questions.

Also want to know about bushings and bushing options.

I can't really tell from the photos. Are those bushings rubber or are they heim joints? I'm guessing rubber.

I was hoping he'd do heim's as an option, though the wear on heims is bad if they're not protected they are at least easily replaceable and as such I wouldn't mind replacing them all the time rather then a rubber bushing that'll flex non-stop and give incorrect angles under stress.

I wouldn't be such a hater but I'm in the middle of replacing like 4 bushing on our Jeep w/ only 20k on the ODO because rubber bushings are so useless. Hence that death wobble thread I made recently.

In this case there's a few options that can be used I'm curious what he's wiling to mount in. Obviously this part would need to be made adjustable as well as replaceable meaning a threaded heim or other joint. This of course allows for even more adjustment too
