Powder coating A Arms
I have a new set of Porterbuilt control arms That I need to powder coat. So what I am wondering is, do I need to leave the balljoints out or put the in before I have them done.
thanks for all the advice Kevin

Remove the bushings, cross shafts and ball joints

I agree, I wouldn't want to put those in an oven lol. You powder coater may be a little pissed when his shop smells like burnt rubber bushings and grease

Re: Powder coating A Arms
Also DO NOT powdercoat inside the machined pieces where the bushings and ball joints go... or they won't fit!

Re: Powder coating A Arms
When I shoot powder, I use plugs for all treaded holes and mask off mounting surfaces (like bushings or bearing races). If the shop doing the powder doesn't know what to mask off, I wouldn't leave my parts there.
