lower control arm correction
1 Attachment(s)
Working on the car today, trying to get more done on the front end, trying to finish it, while I wait for my shocks.
I already mentioned that my first thought for a front sway bar went out the door. I am still on the fence on what to use. Today I made some adj strut rods. For those familiar front suspension, you know these prevent the lower arms from moving while braking, and cornering. The ones I made are going to use and adjuster, not like the ones that are offered on the market that you just turn a tube. Plus these tubes are 6061 forged aluminum, 1" outside diam. To my discouragement, I come to find that even with rod one on just one side, (k member) the control arm attaching point is going to bind. :bang: So thinking how, and what to do so that both upper, and lower arms will travel with out bind, I have decided to install a clevis mount on the lower arm. This way I can run either another rod end, on the control arm, or something similar that will have any bind. So stay tuned.. |
why do you think the struts will bind?. all the ones on the market like hotchkiss are made like yours or at least i think they are.gotta be better than factory struts for sure.i made a similar set for my plymouth .i would be curious to see what you come up with.

charger update
Ok it has been a little bit. I was on the fence on the front sway bar. Either go full tilt on the Torsion bar, NASCAR style front bar, or figure something out. Did a little digging, on results from other mopars using different set ups. So I decided to go with the Hotchkis front bar. I ordered it, and already have it, and looks stout!! The only thin I have to do is cut the old bar mounts off, and put on the new ones, no big deal.
I am also going to install the strut mounts today. One more thing, that I am happy about, my QA1 shocks finally came in!!! I got the double adj Stocker stars. The fronts will be going on after the front sway bar. Pictures will follow this post today!!!! |
