globalwest UCA & LCA
working on the 67 lemans installed the globalwest control arms and went to install the Hellwig sway bar and the links on the lower arms dont line up? I have double checked all the part numbers and they are correct for the car. I am a ford guy workin on a chebby maybe thats the problem

Was the car in the air or on the ground when you tried installing them? It should be done while at ride height.

I thought Pontiac made the Lemans, not Chevy. You don't even know what car it is, maybe that's the problem.

You don't have the bar on upside down do you... I only ask because it kind of looks like it should mount that way. Don't ask me how I know this.

As Allen said, it should line up when the car is on it's wheels.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

WOw are these thing alway a PITA to install? the KYB shock lower mount holes had to be made bigger? We did the get the sway bar on but it sure seemed like a tight fit.. like the links on the are were alittle off. I will get it to the shop and put it on the drive up rack to see how eveything looks in the next week or 2

Tripower is driving a 65 Chevy GTO with a Global West suspension, PM him maybe he can help.

Did you lower the car during this time? Did you get shorter end links to match if you did? Also, GW LCAs have a thicker flange the end link goes through, so longer bolts may be needed. I know I needed 1/2" longer than came with my Energy suspension end links. Originally Posted by LMDGUY
