tube a-arms and pulleys installed

[MAXSIX]

GBodyParts.com Online for the a arms

and im running a manuel steering box

Where did you get that steering box and what is the weigh saving

 

[PaCemkr86]

The steering box is off a S-10.. i later changed to a TRZ manual rack and pinion.
If i had to do it over again i would have left the power steering on

What do they do besides look different.
are they anything like these.

Those arms are made by UB Machine. My question is, are they the same ones that fix the suspension geometry or just OEM replacements?

I called UB Machine directly and had mine custom made to specs designated by a guy named Michael Crawford who runs a grass roots shop called Hellbilly Hotrods. They will improve suspension geometry just like the SC&C arms, but require you to use shims to do your alignment. They also use 80's Chevy C10 upper ball joints which are beefier and 1/2" longer, but have the same taper. I also got 1/2" longer lower ball joints from PowerPerformanceMotorsports.

I have them installed, but the car is still apart so I have no idea exactly how well it will work when it's all together.

Yes, steet car.
Not sure on the weight savings of the s-10 box, but its several pounds and cleans up the engine bay

The tall lowers are part #PROK6145.5SP

The tall uppers are part #PROK5208.5SP

I had my UCA's built custom so they use the upper ball joints out of a C10 from the mid 80's. That way my tall ball joints are a standart part #. The lowers are the tall ones mentioned above.

Don't put the tall uppers on stock UCA's. They will bind. I think they used to sell UCA relocation kits, but it's a bandaid. I would rather get the correct UCA's for what you are doing.
