Terry, I use some that i made up that are the same as the whiteline control arms.Ive used them on both types of xmembers.The control arms ive done are the later type not those early type arms.The first set i did i used a rose joint pivot but removed them after a sticker.I have found that when using the standard type rubber bush on the control arm pivot and running 6 deg pos castor that they chew out pretty quick and when using nolathane type inners that there is a bit of stress on the arm itself as the nolathane doesnt have much give when the arm is angled forward.You can check this out by assembling the front end without springs and try to move the arm up and down.There is also a bit of stress on the forward castor rod bush.In an effort to relieve some stress on the control arm bush i carefully ground out the tube thats welded in the control arm that the bush sits in and welded it back in at a slight angle so that the bush sits straight even though the control arm angles forward.To help the castor rod bush i removed one of the bolts from the control arm and redrilled and reemed the hole to suit a larger fitted bolt.After doing this and then checking the movement of the suspension without the springs in it seemed to move a lot more freely and should allow the dampening of the shocks to work better.I think this would give better feedback to people using adjustable shocks and springs on a road car where rose joints arent allowed.I also reckon that doing this would be a must for corner weighting.
