Upper Control Arm interest? April 05, 2010, 09:27:50 PM I am in the process of having some adjustable upper control arms made for the 86 T-Bird and was wondering if there was any interest in a set of these. They will have Spherical rods ends with teflon inner coating. The Adjustable link is painted or powder coated steel. These are set up for 1/2 inch diameter grade 8 bolts on the rod end side and 1/2 diameter or factory on the other end. I am getting one set made for myself for sure so let me know if there is an interest and I may be able to get some more made. Quote Selected
Upper Control Arm interest? Reply #2 – April 06, 2010, 12:00:29 AM I don't think I can beat the CHE price of $135 a set because I just don't have the quanity to bring the price down but $175-200 will be about the price depending on power coat and machine labor costs. This is about the price of upper control arms of this design such as edelbrock uppers for the mustangs on summit racing so considering the small amount of quanity here the price is pretty reasonable.

Upper Control Arm interest? Reply #7 – April 17, 2010, 02:43:37 AM I made one set for my car about five years ago but wasn't planning on making any more but I still have the Solidworks 3D model so I could make more. I actually made a set of fixed length upper control arms five years ago as well (which will soon be for sale!) but because the car has been lowered so much I need adjustable upper to correct my pinion angle to get rid of a driveline vibration.

Upper Control Arm interest? Reply #8 – April 17, 2010, 11:28:39 AM I really prefer the adjustable spring weight jacker models. You can move it up and down to get the height you want and you can also load the passenger side for the drags.TED Quote Selected

Upper Control Arm interest? Reply #13 – April 19, 2010, 07:06:22 PM Can anyone tell me what the C-C measurement is on the upper control arms for our cars? I think the 83-88's are the same but mine is an 83 if makes a difference.Darren Quote Selected
