oh, just checking, cause if they did it after the bars were welded in I was going to run my tig welder over with a Zamboni. :captain1:

Sorry to interrupt all the banter with an actual car comment :lostmarbles: :

Looking really good, man.

It looks like I dodged a bullet to get hit by a grenade. :drowninga:

A question for you... do you know if those upper A-arms are actually built on Corvette geometry? I am trying to clear the shocks installed on my car that rub on the OEM C6/C7 upper control arms... same with a few other grenadier folks.


I think a tube arm will clear the shocks, since the cast arms seem to be much thicker.

JJ,

The early Wayne Due C5 frame had the same issue. You can correct it with a longer shock or redo the upper shock mount. From my experience it will actually clear at ride height and under compression.

Understood, I don't want to grub up this thread, but rubbing is bad, at any stage. If anything, it removed the coating on the springs, and they rusted. Can't keep the springs loaded all the time.

Sorry, I was out of town and off line.

The upper control arms are made to C5/C6 specs and are a direct replacement. My upper and lowers are 1 inch longer than stock on each side.
