Looking at making some CNC billet front and rear lower control arms for my CR at some point.
I've had requests for arms in the past but they are a fair bit of work to make in 4130 tube. One of my concerns about making them for others and why I have refused is engineering compliance. While I'm confident in my own welding and design I'd worry about supplying the parts to someone else. There are a lot of variables. Once a CNC program is written however it should be straightforward to make consistent accurate arms that I can get an engineer to sign off.

While there are minor differences between EMF and Spohn rod ends / pivot joints (e.g. Spohn has machined slots on the lock ring for the set screw, while EMF requires you to drill the lock ring) EMF rod ends and Spohn Del-Sphere pivot joints are very similar in concept and execution. Both seem to be excellent products for use in control arms.
