Looking for everyones opinion...what brand of Tubular Control Arms is the best for 65 Belverdere, do I need to get the adjustable ones that Mangum Force or RMS offers?? I am going to use 2" drop sprindles from Magnum Force?? :eusa_wall:
 
My A-body tubular arms are complete now. I will be getting a fixture built for the B-bodies this weekend, and hope to have arms ready to sell within a couple weeks. They are "geometry correct", as some say. They use aluminum rod ends on the pivot side of the arm, and have 3* of additional caster built into them to start with. They are completely TIG welded, and come as bare steel. They also keep the factory "cant", so when installed on the spindle, the ball joint stud is very near the center of its motion. Stay tuned...
 
I got a set of CAPS tubular arms, but heard of bad welds so I welded in a support that connected the outer arms and ball joint, now I have zero worries.
 
Just stay away from the chinese junk CPP sells. The ones Magnum Force sell look good
 
i have used the pst stuff and it works and fits nice.plus they support this site!
 
Magnum Force units on my 65 Satellite--a lot of extra + caster--aluminum rod ends--absolutely no complaints--can let go of the steering wheel even on uneven roads and it tracks perfectly straight.
 
Thank you all for the input , I was wondering if I really need that much adjustabilty or if I would be better off just using a bushing style , like from firm feel or p-s-t .
 
well after more thought , i think im going with magnum force control arms and drop spindels some one said look at fat man drop spindels did a search on internet and no one had nothing good to say. well at one time i thought i knew all the parts i was going to use and drop spindels wasnt on the list so over the past years ive been collecting parts now im coming to realize some off the parts I have spent good money on i will not be using should have just keep fixing the rust but i think it makes you feel like your getting something done by putting a shiney new part on even if it sits a couple weeks(months) on the car you take off put up safe keep then find something newer and better so should you even buy parts even if its a deal before paint is done if you have to buy twice maybe im the only one that does this and I have been passing some deals up lately.
