thanks 73ta, Jon the upper arms will flex as you press in the bushings just as they would installing stock bushings but a spacer can be fitted between the "ears" next to the cross shaft or as most mechanics do is to use a hammer to pop the bushing in place while applying pressure to press in the bushing

Do you recommend welding this spacer in and making it a permanent part of the control arm? Or is it only necessary to use it temporarily while pressing in the bushings?

Sorry for the delay but weather made it a pain to get my car out and over to the shop. I can't wait to move south!
Anyway the front wheelwell arches are 26.5" and the rears are 27.25". Thats with a full tank of gas and the air cond system removed. The front end is probably about 30-40 lbs lighter than a stock car due to aluminum intake, removed park/turn lights, and lightweight plastic headlights. Still has battery in engine compartment (not for long though). Measurements were taken with 275 40 17 front tires and 315 35 17's out back. Hope this helps
