Whats going on with my control arms?


Hi all,
I'm new to the forums and had a few questions. I have a set of tubular control arms that just aren't fitting right. Take a look at the pics. I understand that the bushings in the rearend need to be replaced and one of them is in the wrong spot. There is still something else wrong with them because they just won't line up. Any input would be a big help. Thanks, Brian

Has your torque boxes been rewelded ? Did you try leaving all the bolts loose until every thing was conected also did you make sure you have the correct controll arms for your car ?

Its a little late now, but i would have put them on one at a time, its harder if you unbolt all 4 contoll arms and then try and put the new ones on.

Ya i welded the battle box kit in. The car had no torque box issues it was driven by an older guy then a chick. I tried leaving all the bolts loose. I ordered them new for my car so i should have the right ones. I've had them all connected but it seems like they sit at weird angles. The stock ones were all straight. These came from blue oval which i haven't read anything good about, but theres a bunch of companys that make this same set so i really don't see how they could fuck it up.
