Celica adjustable upper control arms

[hypo23]

you could also make these yourself, where mine has the pipe welded with a nut on it have that on both ends of the arm and in the middle have a bit of thread bar with a nut welded to it and two lock nuts there. and that would make it adjustable on the car.

i just cant see the point in paying 300 and wat ever dollars for the noltec ones, where as if you know someone whos handy with a welder would be able too whip them up for under $50 on materials for the exact same thing.

the guys that are wanting rose joints i can understand as you have to buy the joints anyway, but if you just wanting adjustable ones do them yourself or even a metal fab shop would be able to make them cheaper, the only thing thing though they probably wont be shiny.

Hey Steve, just digging up an old thread here..
I'm going to have a go at making these up myself. The original trailing arms are solid (not hollow?). When making these, i'm guessing you have to use a hollow tube, so the threaded bolt can screw into it? Is that weakening it?


Thanks

hey Joel,

are you sure they are solid?

Mine were hollow, so it was simply a matter of using the correct sized thread bar.

Btw both pairs of arms are identical to ones from sprinters
