Anyone care to educate me on lower control arms like this. Are these a custom made item and would that be the common approach for them to be made or are there off the shelf purchase options.

If custom Made, any suggestions on preferred fabricators.

Cheers, and thanks in advance for suggestions.

How are things like "ackerman" angles or bump steer affected. ?
Upper Control Arm - Front, Chop an inch off the Heim joint end of the arms plate the end, shorten the adjuster lock nuts.


Lower Control Arm - Front, Chop the ball joint end and move an inch towards the bushes, leaving all shock positions as is.






any educated thoughts ?
