Nice

A litany of complaints about the company in general.  Nothing about this product in particular, just seems if you have a problem don't expect any real help or support.  Things arrived damaged, or failed in short order and they hid behind a 30 day warranty, etc.  I think for me it comes down to do I want to stake my car and possibly my life on suspension stuff made overseas?

Tubular control arms made with a custom alloy of Chinese dissident cremains and used appliances.  Nice find!  I'd be flinching every time I hit a bump in the road with those on my car.  Grease boots are probably made out of the least UV/Ozone resistant rubber ever made.

Beings how were on the subject of LCA's, And feel free to delete if this is way off the thread. I have those Global West LCA's .I had to litteraly crowbar and beat my stock LCA's out of the frame with a hammer. Is this normal? Or were the old arms bolted in to tight, and bent the frame in a bit? Hope I don't have to beat the new arms in. Thanks for your  time.

Makes ya wonder how they can do that so cheaply.  Like those $20.79 each jobs on Rock Auto for stockers.

Since we are on the LCA topic, I noticed Centric makes a lower ball joint for Mustangs, just the ball joint. Not the whole arm. Seems you would have to drill out the rivets to bolt on the new ones?  Is that even practical?  They bolt into the rivet location and bolt under the strut rod as well.  There must be a market for these because they still make them. They go for like $32 at Summit.  Whole arms with ball joints are cheaper.

Good news. Don has decided to be our guinea pig on those $128 lower control arms.

Note to Don:
Toe-in is 1/8”, not 1.8”

Maybe a new screen name is in the works?

Don Juan-toe ?
Or
Don Won’t toe

Want to tell ‘em, Don?  About how to set toe using a cell phone…

TOE WAS DOUBLE CHECKED and pointed in the correct amount     Complete tear down audit on going now...
I feel I found the failure mechanism.   verification on going.  And now is a good time remind everyone of Don's rule number 3.  You can call DOn (me) a dumb -oh no I used a word I shouldn't have- but then you owe him a beer///   Whit  that will be a  Doctor Pepper (diet)

Toe-Toe.......afterall, he was in Kansas...

Very good, Josh.  I suppose we need to wait until Don’s failure analysis is completed before giving him too hard a time.

I ordered a set of upper and lower moog replacement arms....figured if I was doing the Shelby drop may as well replace those while I was in there.
 

A word of caution with the Shelby drop, if I remember correctly, right-angle grease fittings on the UCA will not fit within the shock towers with the UCAs lowered.  Anyway, something to check.

My 90 degree zircs fit fine after doing the “drop.” I should have put on extended ones in hindsight.
