Adjustable control arms

[gary428cj]

I purchased these control arms from TCE maybe 4 or 5 years ago and just now started to install them but I lost the instructions or schematic on connecting them. I have the package of bushings and bolts but I am not sure what goes where. I called TCE but they have no data on file anymore. Anyone have any clue I could use?
94 SHO, hi-flow cats, Dynomax exhaust, Baer brakes, 17" centerlines.

They're fairly straightforward replacements of the stock control arms. Maybe post a pic of the pieces you have, especially the stuff you don't know what to do with.

FWIW, those are very desirable parts.

A picture of mine installed.



Hope it helps. I can try to take more pics.

I installed an early set of Todd's control arms, perhaps these pics will help.





Sorry I don't have anything larger or higher resolution, these pics are really old and were taken with an early Kodak digital unit, mid-1999.

Thanks for your replies. From your photos I think I know what to do, but the supplied bolts (12 MM) are a "tad" tight going into the factory spindle. Also please note 2 sizes of bushings. I am trying to upload photos of kit , but system is not allowing (too big/exceeds quota) - any tricks I should know? Thanks in advance

You may have to run a 15/32" or 31/64" drill bit through the knuckle ears to open them up some for the supplied bolts.

The forum doesn't support picture attachments much larger than a postage stamp on a gnat's ass. You'll need to get a photo hosting account, like PhotoPhuckit, Picasa, etc.

It's been a long time since this install, but I don't recall different sized bushings.

I installed MBR arms on my car. I had to drill out the spindle and the body to fit the larger bolts I bought to fit the arms. I bought the kit from shonut to sleve the bmr bushings but I misplaced it at the time of the install + i had to cut out off of the OE bolts.
