Need front control arm info!!!

[rio95]

Does anyone have these???? How do you like them??? Do they re-position the front wheels at all (in or out)???

Also, One of the more important questions, do you have to re-align the front end??? I'm thinking about getting these, b/c my bushings and ball joints aren't in the best condition and if these are better than stock, then I'll consider it money well spent, but I would hate to have to get another alignment.

I have some 03 Cobra take off A arms on my 94, much better than the old worn out stuff I took off. No reposition of the front wheels that I noticed & I believe the turning radios was reduced. I have not realigned my front end since I replace mine & have had no tire wear so far.

The turning radius is increased (you can turn the wheels farther away from center). And no, an alignment is not typically required as the balljoint and k-member pickups are all in the same place. If it has been aligned with the old sloppy bushings though, the new bushings may locate the wheels where they're supposed to be requiring an alignment. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it's been aligned recently.
