Default Tubular UCA's?

Does anyone make adjustable, tubular upper a-arms?

My stock ones, and balljoints keep getting smoked... And the Skunk2 etc.. look even weaker than stock.

Also, has anyone used these Comp Engineering lower arms in anything but a drag race enviroment?

They say they are stronger than stock...



I guess I may be looking at a trip to the fabricator!

That's cause the endlink would connect to the knuckle/hub

from the website:

NOTE: Requires alignment after installation. Does not allow use of factory Anti Roll Bar </TD></TR></TABLE>

The comp eng LCA's are not suitable for anything but drag racing.

I actually was looking at them a little while ago and contacted them directly. They said they are not strong enough to withstand any type of lateral forces (I.E. turning) they said that they are strictly for drag purposes

If you end up getting something custom fabricated I would love to see them
