upper control arm issues??

[94svtcobra]

I was reading over at sn95forums that upper control arms can actually do more damage than good, due to binding and causes stress to the torque boxs and floor pan??? can someone shed some light on this.


thanks, mike

aftermarket arms can't grow like the stockers and hence they will bind earlier.

I have che upper and lower. That your best bet. Ask mike at Wolfpack. Stay away from adjustable stuff and you'll be fine.

Do this first....then there's no problems with whatever you go with.

you need torque box plates welded in to reinforce them... if you race it without them being reinforced, your gonna tear em up no matter what with stock or aftermarket arms. if your driving it on the street, then there's no need for control arms anyhow ya know :)

X2 on the torque box kits.

You will likely be fine with stock uppers for what you are planning, but if you do aftermarket, keep the factory bushings in the rear housing. Poly in the housing will cause bind for sure.
