Unless you're trying to run a crazy suspension setup this seems completely unnecessary. Besides looking "dope" and replacing a few dollar bolt that can easily be replaced what are you attempting to accomplish? Before all else, get it looked at and figure out what the real problem is.

Im not saying the control arms are my solution. I will get it looked at by professionals.

More then likely my control arm is bent. So whats wrong with buying aftermarket adjustable arms? It doesn't hurt that it adds a little bling down there. I could just buy replacement bolts and a used control arm but the way I look at it is if I have to replace something on my car why not replace it with an upgrade? something aftermarket?

the horse and water picture was not necessary.

Thanks Cobb. I will probably call up there this or next week and set up an appointment. Hopefully we can figure this out.

That's totally fine, just make sure your problem is in-fact a control arm first, that's all I'm saying

I guess ill be using my tune money on the diagnosis...

It is well worth the drive, believe me! I took a friend over there after he complained it was to far for like 3 months, after going he purchased the yearly alignment package and now tells me how it is so worth making the 45 minute drive. Hell, I usually follow him there so I can pick Kyle's and Forrest's brains.
