Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone!
Since lower control arms seem to be a positive topic, here's a couple more pictures on the subject.
Here is a before and after of the rod ends/pivot ball housings for the g-Link adjustable lower control arms. They're made in the turning department. The blanks are precision cut by one of our CNC saws which helps us keep material waste to a minimum. They could end up in any of the same cars as the billet arms.
These
g-Bar lower control arms were still hot from being welded. Their next stop will be the grinding booth for inspection and clean up, then off to be powder coated black. Once coated we will install polyurethane bushings, steel sleeves, and grease zerks. The zerks really help keep down the squeaking and extend the service life. The longer barrel in the picture will fit perfectly in the front leaf spring pocket. The bushing housing is CNC machined to exactly match the ID and OD of the control arm tubing. This helps the welder to get better weld penetration yielding a stronger, more uniform weld. Also, it makes it more difficult for him to put it in the wrong place! Ha! The narrower end goes on the housing side.
Because this is a little more specific, these are made to fit 67-81 F-Body, 68-72 X-Body, and 65-70 Mustangs. There are a couple more applications in the pipeline so watch this thread!
