What's recommended?
- If you are just replacing the arm set and not really dropping the vehicle at the same time, the factory eccentric can be reused. If you are lowering the vehicle, the PRO's recommend the lowered eccentric set to make adjusting camber easy. Maybe a #SlickSpanner can make your life easier as well.
- If your hardware has seen better days, think about the optional hardware sets to make installation a snap.

FAQ
- These arms look to be old versions, rebuilt or reconditioned. Is that accurate? Yes. But they go through an extensive audit process to ensure they are perfect for you and your family. There might be some history marks on them, but that is what makes them special, in our opinion.
- Do you need my core arm set? No, but maybe. The PRO's are always looking for cores, so they would be ecstatic to get yours back. We have a core program here to see what works for you and your cores.
- I can't get my eccentric off my old ball joints, whats the trick? Place the flat edge of the eccentric on an anvil or a piece of steel that is pretty heavy. With safety gear on, with a hammer, you want to hit the top flat edge of the eccentric with the hammer. The hit will vibrate the eccentric off of the swedged fit.
Get them built correctly, install them correctly, maintain them correctly, they will last forever.
