Re: [Chevelle-list] Rear Control Arms Removal

[Jim Sullivan]

What is boxing the control arms??  Is it just welding a piece to make them look like the HD control arms??  If that isn't it, I often wondered if that would work rather than spending $100.00 + on new ones?? Is it?? Will it??     Herb,  If the car is only up on jackstands that really isn't high enough for him to wiggle his rear end enough to be helpful........ You had to guess that after you sent that, someone would jump on it....

With the vehicle weight on the rear end, how many control arms can I take off at one time without having to take out the rear end?   Thanks, Larry
