Hello everyone,
My Name is Luke, I have a 1989 Caprice sedan that I am modding, I am slowly collecting the suspension parts and researching what is the best options for my application (95% street, very limited track). My question pertains to the rear lower control arms, I am planning on going with Dick Miller adjustable uppers, the lowers were the very first suspension mod I made to the car 12 years ago (other than police springs and KYB shocks). They are Hotckis boxed lower control arms. They are worn but in good shape, I have noticed company's like Speedtech, UMI and Dickmiller use RotoJoints or Johnny joints or have some other way of keeping the control arm from binding. Is it possible to install RotoJoints into the boxed Hotckis arm? it looks like it just presses in like a bushing. I hate buying things twice and if I can improve the arms function and keep it that would be great. Also given that I will be on the street most the time is it beneficial? Thank you in advance for your advice.
