Left and right look the same just mirrored, the other one was still wet when I took this pic
the upper bushing is a Delrin bushing with the correct 14mm drill out. The lower is a 3/4" chromoly heim with teflon/kevlar insert.
I was able to get this installed, took me a while, and the alignment is now done.

You sure that weld on the end will hold under 500 lb/ft of torque?

I had them TIG welded, and then ran through a heat/cool treatment. I have had them on the car for over a month now and no problems. Just finally getting around to getting it posted.Originally Posted by HeissRod

honestly after installing them and all the hassle, it may have been easier to build lower control arms. but next I am going to build some front upper control arms that are adjustable. I really hate the wear on the tires because this is my daily driver.
I will model them after these chevy arms

I like your ambition. I bought K-mac bushings for my DD. 5k miles so far, no problems and no tire wear.

I heard a vendor on here may be coming out with a super beefy solution ... Maybe just a rumor

ExploreI am only in about 300.00 for both arms plus getting it aligned.
Of course I installed them myself. KMAC were not going to get me out of the 3° camber to my knowledge or the bad toe out I was experiencing.
