Mild Modifications / Replacement A-arms
« on: January 01, 2020, 08:11:05 PM »
I’ve ordered a new set of stamped A-arms for the 69. I was planning on blasting, painting and replacing the ball joints in the stock arms. However, I can get new ones complete with the ball joints for only $370 with poly bushings.
I restore the originals at some point in the future if I ever wanted to go back. I prefer the stock look and I don’t have any interest in making a pro touring machine at this point. However, it’s difficult not to lust over a set of tubular arms and coil-overs.
Is there a big advantage to the tubular arms? The ability to adjust the shocks with coil-overs would be nice to have.
