You guys do realize your binding the rear ends movement boxing those arms. The engineers figured in the flex of the rubber bushing and the flexing of the arm. They made those arms flimsy like that for good reason.

What you need to do is pick up some left and right thread, Delrin sleeved, spherical bushings along with the weld in threaded bungs. Then get some 1-1/2 to 2" rigid pipe and make some fully adjustable lower control arms. I would also do the same for the uppers. Having a four-wheel alignment is amazing! Your cars handling and ride will be light years better.

I use the Currie Johnny Joint.

Check pics on my profile page of the ones I made for my ‘63 Safari. Round tube, Johnny Joints on one end. Adjustable lowers.
