I found a pot hole the other day, and my left front control arm didn't like it.

Having worn out inner bushings allowed the control arm to move inside the beam. With the weight of the car riding on the air bags it puts allot of pressure on the control arms. There isn't any bushings available for T3 beams except some Delron prototypes from ISP. This along with no available dropped spindles. I'm going to machine a new bushing for now, and Chuck brought me another control arm.(Thanks!!) So I should be back together soon.

After this I'm planning to build a control arm front end similar to this...

That way I don't have to worry about T3 parts anymore, and it will be stronger and more dependable.
