Torque boxes Reply #15 – September 25, 2017, 11:14:56 AM I welded mine up, and also welded on these finger plates that tie them into the subframes. Seems like a good way to help ensure the force is transferred forward. Quote Selected
Torque boxes Reply #16 – September 25, 2017, 03:17:16 PM Quote from: Tbird232ci;462904I intend on getting the MM extreme duty arms. I really like their pivot ball design, and want it on both ends. I have control arms on my Trans Am that are similar in bushing design, and it almost seems pointless when one end articulates, but not the other. It seems like it will get rid of only 'some' binding.I think you'd be happy with them. MM says they transmit more NVH but, at least for me, all I notice is more differential gear noise. I can only hear it with the windows up and the A/C on, radio off. Not a deal breaker for me at all. The car rides nice and firm, actually much better after replacing the stock control arms.

Looks like they were beaten a bit to fit the application. I don't think the pic above is my car tho, I can't recall if I needed to beat them much to get them in place. Beat and weld, weld and beat :hick: Quote Selected
