control arm swap

Recommended Posts

I have a limited chassis the the upper control arm were swaped left to right and the mounts reset. I want to swap them back now that I'm running ashpalt. Is this easy to do and get them set in the right location or something best left to a chassis builder?

On asphalt, the a-arm locations and the effective length of the a-arms are very important.

 

The very important roll-center locations are determined by the location and interaction of the a-arms while camber curves are determined by the effective length of the a-arms. The angles of the upper arm are also important since those angles impact caster change curves and anti- and pro-dive along with a few other less important parameters.

 

We cover this stuff in my Suspension Seminars.

 

If you don't know how all this works together to effect your suspension geometry, I suggest that you have a knowledgable chassis builder handle this for you.
