Brackets bending?

[bobbyjones]

control arms are bending.

another awesome old merc. It looks great! How bad are the control arms bending?

[A4crn]

I wonder if its because the tires are too wide and resting inside the arches, the arms are quite beefy

[bobbyjones]

the wheels do not hit the inner fender when it's aired out. if you look a few post back i cut some out of the control arms so they didn't hit the subframe.

[bobbyjones]

finished control arms, i honestly picked them up, dropped them there, took that picture and put them on. i haven't looked at them.
then i pushed it out of the garage let it warm up a bit and then it cruised around for about five minutes, i'm happy.

happy car

yeah man.
now with an alinement. best it's ever been working. haven't set up the air ride presets yet, but from my few short rides around town in manual mode. it can roll really low. it makes me really happy.

So rear shocks are going to go on soon, this car previously did not have enough power to make a turn and then accelerate away. Now that its running like a raped date, were going to need some rear shocks, this rear wheels hopping around, banging out the inner fender nonsense is getting old. The car is almost perfect till I hit a some dips in the road and its like next 1000ft your on a boat. Party on Wayne.
