Re: upper control arm after a "z"
Not that I am aware of. If they did, why would you think it would be cheaper than the u joints?

Re: upper control arm after a "z"
X2, notch your arm, can't get cheaper than that. Also, I'd highly recommend cutting and aligning you upper bj while your at it.

Re: upper control arm after a "z"
i wouldnt think they would be cheaper... but they would alow more lift and add to the cool factor!
what are you guys using to notch the arm?

Re: upper control arm after a "z"
Don't you still need one u-joint even with the control arm notched?

Re: upper control arm after a "z"
Use U-joints from junkyard steering systems instead of buying the expensive new ones. I'm running a rack instead, but I built my steering shaft from a couple of old shafts. Took 15 minutes and didn't cost a penny.

Re: upper control arm after a "z"
Heres a stock control arm notched out. Looks good imo and serves it's purpose.
