Triangulating my Lower Arms..

Ok, I need to triangulate my lower control arms... How did some of you guys do it if you have done it?? Or any ideas on how to place the bushing so its perfectly in line?? This was my idea...

The mounting holes on the control arm are 3/4".. And the inner sleeve on a bushing is 9/16"... So i was thinkin bout give a piece of 3/4" solid round stock to a buddy and havin him machine down bout 4" down to 9/16"... Then i could slide it into the control arm and slide the assembled bushing on.. Make my piece of tubing.. And tack in all together.. Then disassemble the bushing.. and fully weld it..

Sound like a plan???

If you guys have any pics of yours, that'd be awesome.. And build pics of em too.. I don't know how many of you have em done.. Thanks guys

thats how I went about doing mine on my first mazda. I didn't really need to do it, but thats how I did it. I just used a LONG piece of 9/16 allthread though.

How did you keep it centered in the control arm then???

used the bushing and sleeve and when I ordered a new bushing it had the sleeve in it.

You plan sounds perfect. Do it that way.
