:::Rebuilt Front Suspension Arms:::
As many of you already know, the bushings on the Front Lower Control Arm and the Radius Arm are prone to go bad. This is due to age, exposure, abuse, and especially from lowering your vehicle. But many of you may not already know that changing out bushings can be a real drag and quite time consuming, even for those that are experienced. Plus alot of you DIY'ers don't already have a press or the proper sized dyes to tackle this project.
So we at L-Fab came up with the idea of rebuilding these arms with aftermarket bushings along with powdercoating them. We also came up with the idea of selling these arms with a core exchange, this way you guys can buy our arms, swap them with your blown arms, then send us your old arms back. This way you guys can save time, money, and headaches.
We recently posted up a FEELER thread, and alot of you guys wanted the option of different brands of bushings, so we went ahead and sourced these bushings for you.

Now offering the option of machining the spacers when purchasing SPL Compression Rod Bushings.
-This allows a greater amount of articulation which will greatly reduce the chance of knocking noises while turning.
Also offering rubber washers to help reduce road noise.

Unfortunately we do not have any sample pieces of the gloss red right now
Its pretty much a cardinal red color with Ultra Durable high gloss clear.
if it helps, we use the following powdercoat product companies: Cardinal, Tiger, and Prismatic.
I believe they have color swatches online
