I havent had much experience making my own control arms. I know to use heavy wall tubing and thread on end with right hand threads and the other with left hand threads.

My question. I want to stay away from the spherical rod ends. Where do you guys get the bushed rod ends that have the threaded ends for making your own control links? I've seen them somewhere but I cant find any now.

Thanks,
Dave

Speedway has them...and I'm sure other web catalogs as well. They also have the swedged rods already threaded and ready to go in different lengths.

Thanks. I looked. Must have missed it. I'll look again.

Hey Dave,

Maybe I mistook your question. Did you mean this type of rod end?

Yes. That the right one Cboy! I guess I missed those. I see them now. I was actually hoping to find some plain steel. I just found some on ridetech.com's site. I was hoping for something a little bigger than 5/8". MacDonald Bros Racing also has some. But they're in Australia.

I'm going to have to fabricate the lower link for the C4 vette rear. I have to narrow the half shafts a bit so in turn I have to do the control arms. Would you trust the 5/8"? Just curious. The ones I made for my drag truck years ago were 3/4 sphericals. I do know I should go with the bushed style for longevity.

Thanks,
Dave

I usually mess with minis and fulls sizes with air ride, but this may help there are a few companys that do custom comtrol arms. barnyard customs make a killer set. a place called barely legal does a set also. air ride tech offers some for older trucks as well. you might also try suicide doors.com the make custom parts like that too. hopefully this will help you out. Are you planning on putting airride on the truck.......

Nope. Just sticking with coil overs front and rear. Corvette IRS. I did a search for barnyard customs and couldnt find thier web site?

Now if I could just get all of my front end parts. Ordered in October. Still getting wrong parts as of today. I'm rather calm most of the time. Now....I'm flat out ready to make a trip to Lake Havasau and.........
