Custom Tubular Control Arms (Patreon)
Content
Happy Sunday everyone! The next project has come along great: making custom control arms for the Rally Miata! These are constructed by 1" .125 DOM tube. Polyurethane bushing on the outside, 7/16" heim joints on the inside! With the addition of the heim joints the control arms are able to be adjusted WAY more than the stock setup, allowing us to get the proper alignment in the car. The tubing makes the control arm significantly stronger and slightly lighter too! I built a jig off the old control arms, then bent up the tubing, notched stuff, and welded it all together! The whole process was quite easy but incredibly time consuming. Since these are control arms every measurement, bend, weld has to be PERFECT because its holding up the entire car. I'm super happy with the results. The question is: what color do we get them powdercoated? Simple gloss black? Or something more exciting like red or white? Let me know your thoughts!
