I have a 67 Plymouth Belvedere. https://www.ebay.com/p/QA1-52308-Lower-Control-Arm/1226896467?_trksid=p2047675.l2644 "Not sure if this will work"! Last edited by hemirdrnnr; 06/16/19 04:44 AM.

He has coilovers and did not brace the shock towers. B body is a lot tougher in that area than an A body. IIRC, QA-1 is the old CAP stuff. Last edited by slantzilla; 06/16/19 02:29 PM.

These lower control arms are a direct bolt-in on your factory k-member and are twice as strong as factory arms and don't add any weight. The set includes bushings, pivot arms and nuts for ease of installation. Made in the USA. Sounds to me like you get pretty much nothing out of them versus just buying the $20 stiffening plates for the factory control arms. Maybe you're car will be faster due to the driver now having a lighter wallet. 1972 Barracuda - 5.7L Hemi, T56 Magnum 6spd - https://www.facebook.com/GoodysGotaHemi 2020 RAM 1500 [img]https://i.imgur.com/v9yezP9.jpg[/img]

IMO, it pretty well proves how non essential the LCA gusset modification is, as the pictured arms "maybe/seems to be" up to the task required, but are substantially less robust then the OEM LCA's, even without the gusset modification. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
