Is there a thread or how to somewhere on here? I can't find it.

I would like to see some pics of your guy's. What do you mount the tabs to for the new bushing? Maybe I just need to see some pics.

I'm still looking for the write up. This is from my Toyota but the procedure is pretty much identical. My project thread -->

Basically what I did was I made an alignment tool using nuts from the strut rod, longer bushing bolt, and metal sleeve to center the bushing for triangulating the control arm. Here is a pic of the tool. I had to cut it off and realign it to do the other side.











Now I could have used tubing but I'm perhaps a little ocd and wanted the added part to match the control arm.

For the tabs you just either cut your own, or get some longer 4 link tabs and weld them to the frame. My set up is a little different instead of the tabs I built the tabs into the lower control arm then for the frame mount I welded tubing to a bushing.

It was the tabs that I was kinda curious about. I always assumed the frame was right there to weld them to but it's not. I see how you did it and that makes sense. I do like how you did yours, looks nice.

Some extra long tabs should work, I think the combined length of the bushing and tubing I cut to mount to the frame was around 6 inches.

About half way down the page you can see what I used. I have the template of the bracket I used if you want a copy to work with(gives you a starting point at least cause that's the biggest pain to figure out).
