alright, we all know how much the stock setup(and the stock based setup) sucks for performance applications...mainly because it can slip out of alignment under aggresive driving...those control arm teeth just dont seem the best setup. I have a Heidts kit with tubular UCAs...nice enough setup, but it doesnt cure the issue...I was looking through a summit catalog and noticed that competition engineering has adjustable control arms for quite a few chevys...control arms that are adjustable by way of rod ends threaded into the control arm if you see what I say
this is a similar control arm to mine(except I dont have adjustable heim joints)
I was wondering if it is feasible(or even possible) to do something similar to mine to make them adjustable...I would then weld up the adjustment slots and drill a couple holes for the locating bolts instead...this would in theory eliminate slipping alignment....I am by no means a suspension expert and was wondering if there is something I am missing here...any reason why modding my control arms like this wouldnt work...it would also give me the advantage of being able to make the UCAs slightly shorter for better negative camber as well
