modified a arms

[MrTwoJay]

Has anybody thought of or done a conversion from the stock suspension ball joints to adjustable rose joints?
I am thinking of fabing such a setup, or even making a new set of arms, with rose joints instead. The idea is to make the suspension setup fully adjustable. ..

Any comments or advice would be appreciated.

PS: my main concerns would be strength & contamination. But on the other hand, they could be replaced easily and also lubed at regular intervals.

putting replacable ball joints on stock width arms is a waste of time, effort and $, IMO.
there is no adjustment needed for stock width arms.

the stock ball joint can be lubed with a grease gun needle stuck thru the rubber boot, and will last for years if kept filled on a regular basis.


i've seen stock arms extended on here with horrendous results, the stock tubing angle cannot be cut and extended to meet at a common point at the balljoint properly or safely = cluster fawk.


there have also been redneck extended arms built and sold on here, i'm sure the pics are missing from the thread, but weren't worth seeing anyway
the tools (bender, mig welder, tubing notcher, chro-mo tubing, grease fittings/bungs, ball joints ect.) required, cost more than a set of + ASR arms, and i'd bet never even paid for itself
