I tried to use the search and it didn't work for me? I need to get the information on how to box stock control arms? I think I was here when I found the information before but it's been a while and I'm not sure?? Any information on boxing stockers would be great or the link to the page. Thanks!

FWIW there are a couple of companies that sell a kit to box the arms

Shoot me a link? I would consider doing that if the price is reasonable.. I already have new bushings. Thanks!

The link doesn't show a price when I click on the 78-87 choice? Can you send me the link to the company page? Maybe my computer is messing with me :ohyeah:

I just found it better to go with all new control arms. It would have been way too much work to box the stockers and press in new bushings IMHO. To me the cost difference isn't worth the haggle. I mean you can get a brand new, bolt-in set for $120 here (http://www.fullthrottlespeed.com/itemdesc~CartId~%7BEVEREST62E5A069-4C87-468B-A694-6AC5C3822DBA%7D~ic~7903015B~eq~~Tp~.htm) vs. the boxing kit at $50 plus $ for new bushings, and labor.

To find the prices on HRpartsandstuff website, you must click the "Pricing/Order" section on the left.

One other thing: If you do order from HRpartsandstuff, pony up and DO spend the money on the poly motor mounts.
