How to make a custom adjustable a arms
Ok I do not have pictures yet but I will within a few days.
I have done this a few times for some friends.
What I have done with the 300ex with 450r a arms for an example.
I remove the lower a arm shock mounting perch and bar.
Then I take hollow round bar stock( I forget the wall) and drill a hole large enough for it to cut the bar.
This gives me a round end to weld to the round a arm.
I did this to reuse the factory shock,you can do it to use whatever shock you want.
Once that is done I cut the mounting ends that attach the arm to the frame.
I weld in a threaded cap so I can then attach a himes joint or (rod end)
This allows me to adjust camber and toe.
It is not intended to lengthen the a arm any more but for handling.
Then its off to be Powder coated.
They look very clean when done.
I spent $45 on my Himes joints,Sleeves/Spacers locking nuts.
My guy who does the Powder work does all final clean up,blasting etc then color for $50
The set of 450r arms I have coming ran me $65 shipped.
So for $160 and my time I have a very clean nice arm,that is not really that different then the $400-$600 set I see for sale.
If you do not know how to weld then I do not recommend you attempting this.
