    Anyone have any experience with Chinese tubular A-arms and drop spindles? I just got this back together with and now has crazy neg-camber. I even tried switching top arms.

    I'd have thought that replacing any non stock part would inevitably require some fine tuning. It's not clear whether you've maybe done this and possibly run out of adjustment or this is the as fitted position.

    There is no adjustment left for the camber.. Im going to rebuild my original parts but keep the drop spindles.
     
  4. Nothing a lot of cutting, welding, machining, beer drinking and cursing can't fix.
     

  5. I have had good luck with Mcgaugyhys stuff on an off topic truck but I can honestly say that I could never trust suspension or steering components that were made in China. There is too much at stake , why take the chance. Just reuse the stock arms and be able to sleep at nite. Mitch.

  6. Look at stock car arms. They come in a variety of lengths, hole spacing, etc.

    I agree. The gumball welds on those upper A arms scare the shit out of me! I would never roll down the highway on those!
