well i did my tie rod notch yestereday and today i remover the shock mount from the top of my ART arms so i could put it on the bottom. well i went and tried to see how much more tire i could tuck and **** my spindal hit the bottom tube on the ART top control arm. Ill have pics later but basically the spindal at the back of the top ball joint the edge hits the bottom of the tube on the upper ART arm.....i can use any ideas

Thanks

Whos drop spindels are you using? honestly man you shouldnt be having a problem we've laid plenty of dimes on 20's with these arms let me know whos spindels you are using and we will get to the bottom of this

[unperfected]

im using bell tech drop spindels

[unperfected]

heres a few pics it hit at the top of the spindel




heres the other side and it seams to be doing it even without the tie rod notch

the problem is you have the upper control arms mounted up side down. and probably on the wrong sides.
this is a small pic from arts site but should help you.

[Juan@AirRideTech]

Correct they are mounted upside down and quite posibly on the wrong side, chances are they where labeled correctly. You need to remount them right side up and replace the ball joints.

If the arms are upside down, when you mount them the right way the ball joint would be pointing towards the sky. You'd have to take the ball joint out, flip it, and reinstall the ball joint.

i thoght he ment by new ones not change them around.

[Juan@AirRideTech]

the amount of stress that has been on them may have prematurely worn them down I think it would be a good idea to replace them.

Hey i tried u in the other thread but can i get a pric for bottom ball joint boots and one of the nylon lock nuts for the upper arm shipped to me in canada

[Tony@AirRideTech]

dude...... I agree with Jon.... I would change the uppers and install some new ones in there.... and dont worry man, we may remind you of this but we wont drag you through the mud too bad

[jakefiddlesticks]

i have belltech drop spindles and stocker arms and nothing hits, I was wondering why he was notching the frame? wow, nice to see someone with an eye on here to catch something mounted wrong. I 100% agree with replacing the ball joints.
