While these are fairly simplistic in design and installing, I thought I would do the write up also just so its good visuals. Both BLASTING and other paint prepping will be fine as long as it is clean on the welding surfaces and etched for the new paint to stick to
The reason these came about, as a lot more owners are liking the stock look and restorations are becoming a more common thing. With OLD metals they can get weak from age as metals do this! not only that but as they get old they can thin out from corrosion which weakens the arm over its lifespan.
While some will be ok with aftermarket arms, those that LOVE the OEM look and have some power will find this more appealing, not only visually, but strength-wise also.
These simply weld onto the pressed arch type design to box it in, This makes a huge difference in strength in all forces seen on the arm.
* Step one.
Requires you to remove ALL items you are not going to use again. If you plan to keep the OEM bush in that is fine (unless being powder coated of course) Droplink and outer ball joint if being replaced. I HIGHLY suggest replacing them if the car is old or never seen new ball joints in the last 5-10 years!
* Step two.
Blast the old paint and corrosion away (if using a wire wheel or other method) please make sure to clean and fully remove ALL paint from the lips of both types of arms so you have a 100% clean bare metal surface for welding onto!
* Step three
Align and centralise the brackets onto the arms, making sure to place the logo the correct way (upper camber arm is handed L/R)
* Step four
welding can be Tig or Mig which ever you wish to use. Once all setup tack EVERY connection point on both sides before fully welding. this helps keep it from bending and supports the entire arm as you weld. Once done you can weld the entire connection points fully
* Step five
Once finished welding, you may reblast the arm or your chosen way to etch the surface ready for painting to your desired finish
This is now ready for your new parts if you have opted to replace them
Enjoy the new stronger arms and you WILL feel a difference once these are on! The rear will help feeling more secure and stronger and supported and those pushing power will not have to worry they have TOO much power for stock arms anymore nor flex them under hard situations
