Installed the Upper/Lower Gratanelli control arms


Took about 3.5 hours doing it by myself. There's still snow on the ground around here, so I haven't gotten a chance to take it out. Installed well.

That's right. They work great. The rear end plants real nice. Use lots of Loctite though, the bolts come loose real quick!

Spacers? I had washers which I used on every bolt, but that's it.

You have the newer style arms like I just bought. The spacers are a new design. The 4 bushings go in the front of the arm and the spacers go in the rear part of the arm to give it more of a solid mount. They are better than the old style.
