Boxed a-arms
I HATE THIS NEW SITE!
Just had to get that out.
Does anyone have any pictures of boxed a-arms? I'm doing it tonight and I'm going off of memory. I'm bracing by the bushings and then from the outer to the spring cup. Any help would be appreciated!

I don't have the picture here, as i'm not at home... you could try searching for it? "strengthening A-arms"...
I heard it wasn't a ton of help though.
basically 1"x1/8" strip of steel, maybe 2" long... put it over the ears to strengthen it, slightly outwards of the spring pocket, then one more just inside of the spring pocket...
hope that helps.
oh good, I thought that was just me, it takes a really long time to make the post itself... sheesh...

Same way I always do, I line up the cut end with the spindle knuckle. Is that what those holes are supposed to be used for? My welder friend got a little crazy with the welds, at least they were deep.
