Anyone using the CAP Upper A arms? I bought a set for my charger and they came with a cone shaped washer / spacer and the directions don't really mention these pieces, has anyone purchaced and used these arms?


Thanks!

It seems to me that welding in a gusset between the tubes and ball joint for the CAP a-arms would solve some issues for them.

Maybe we should turn this over to Jaime and Adam at Mythbusters...

The small tapered side goes against the heim.

I bought mine for my 68 charger last year and put about 2500 miles on them. (Mine didn't come with the stuff your asking about.) But after seeing the posts on the possible failures I welded in some gussets last week.

Ok looks like they put the spacers for the heim joints in with my arms by mistake as my arms are the other type! Now all i have to do is decide if im going to use them or not!
