Extending and Reinforcing G Body Front Upper Control Arms

[@caddi70]

Man I remember extending my 64 Impala arms 32 years ago when all we did was cut the ball joint off and weld a solid block in

[@YankyYardy]

Exactly 💯

[@dcorn27]

Thank you for sharing content! I hope I do your instructions justice! I'm following the videos and doing my 85 cutlass

[@BNRCustoms]

You’re welcome! Let us know how it goes!

Can't wait to see that LS in the 240!

[@BNRCustoms]

That video will be up Sunday!

How much do you think it moved the wheel out from the top of the rim? My truck has camber I’m trying to remove

[@guerosolis5794]

Months later I had to weld a 3/16" plate under ball joint holes cause my holes were turning into an egg shape from hopping.

[@BNRCustoms]

I don’t plan on doing a bunch of hopping so I hope I don’t have that problem lol

[@kylen.6742]

whats the purpose of extending the arms?

[@boxboy50]

Couldn't you use caprice a arms?

[@phreaktor]

Nice vid man. Did you get your parts from Hoppo's? What's the link to the unbreakable ball joints?

[@BNRCustoms]

I got the pump kit from CCE and the reinforcements from Hoppo’s

[@LowriderRios1316]

Unbreakables are NAPA #260-1091

[@sixonebubble]

Do you ever leave the bump stop slots?

[@rickg2706]

What’s the part number for the ball joints ? Are they moogs?

[@BNRCustoms]

Uppers: 260-1091 Lowers: 260-1130 They’re NAPA brand

[@rickg2706]

Good content and info . Thank you 👍🏼

What's the call information

[@TACOMASRT5]

Did you extend the lowers? If not y not?

[@BNRCustoms]

I’m new to this so I’ve never heard of someone extending lowers. But you extend uppers to help with camber issues when you’re lifted/lowered and to relieve stress on the ball joints. If you extend both, you’ll just be basically right back to stock specs

[@TACOMASRT5]

@@BNRCustoms so does that mean it's out of whack at stock heights and it's closer to where it should be lifted and lowered? I'd like to do a long travel suspension on my car

[@michaelcastleberry6953]

Nice

[@83regal19]

Do the lowers have to reinforced?

[@BNRCustoms]

Depends on what you’re doing. Typically, lay and play like I’m doing, you don’t need to reinforce the lowers. But if you plan on hopping, I’d recommend it. Better safe than sorry
