where did you apply the lever to deflect the arm down?
am i to understand that the new A-arms have a different design which does not contact the frame rail near the pivot as "early" in its downward swing?
any idea when these arms were first produced? my car is a 98. forget the build date... late '97.
i got it done. there is no way i'd buy a new control arm (~$200 right?) for a <$100 bearing swap.
same goes for ball joints.
of course if one is changing ball joints it should eliminate the geometry problems as well.
