      Who Makes Custom Tubular A-Arms?

      i'd like to send my stamped arms to someone and have them build tubular replacements with the ball joint further back by a specified amount.



      the adjustables by SC&C would be a second option, but i would like something with more subtle looks.

      it's for a '61 Pontiac B-body.

      i had a THREAD over a year ago on the problem, just getting to the solution now though.

      nothing aftermarket is available. i just need to get the ball joint back about 1.5" - 2" and would be nice to have a taller BJ too.

      i would like to find a fab shop that can make a pair of upper control arms to match my existing arms, but with the BJ adjustment for more caster.

      Well, if it's the same as the Impala, you've got this.

      I'm not entirely sure it's what you want, but they do have a full suspension setup for that car.

      i need a pair of front upper control arms. impala was a good idea, but those won't work.

      a lot of impala parts fit on my car, but the frame is very different. American Pontiacs were full perimeter, and Impala was X-frame.

      I would like to have some made also. I can build a prototype but want a shop to build the arms. I don't trust my welding for something as critical as this.
