I'm in the process of installing a set of QA1 tubular lower control arms on my 70 Cuda and I would like to check in here if anyone here has any experience with these control arms?
I have a new set of Firm Feel greaseable pivot shafts with a nylon bushing, is there an advantage of using them over the OEM style pivot shafts that the QA1 lower control arms are delivered with?
Any thoughts are welcome

The OEMs are supposed to be quieter, and the one from Firm Feel are supposed to improve handling. I went with OEM. Tim

With poly or nylon bushings I really like the greasable feature. If they squeak - which is somewhat common - a little shot of grease will fix it.
