upper control arm

[cjoliver73]

Did anyone have a hard time getting both bolts to pass through on the upper control arm ?

It doesn't seem to line up on the holes !! I got the rear bolt through, but the front bolt would not line up with the rear hole on the bracket ..!! Uggh !! even tried vice versa ! If I got the front bolt through, the back bolt wouldn't go


Any advice ?


Thanks

I see that your post has been here for a couple of months with no reply. So, did you find a resolution to your dilemma? I ask because now that I have started on my 33 HR I have the same issue. Very frustrating and disappointing. I can force the bolts to get the front suspension together, but feel uncomfortable thinking that all I've done is manage to tweak and bind the upper a-arms. Good luck with your build.

The biggest complaint on the forum about the FF 4 link is that it binds up. Save yourself some grief and purchase or make adjustable links they will help prevent binding. Gordon Levy sells lowers (LCA). I made my own lowers and uppers to extend the wheel base 1" to fit full fenders.

Sorry your having problems I hope your build gets smoother.

Good Luck

Spohn Performance makes an adjustable set that has a very tough rebuildable joint:
