    NOTE : BMR control arms move the sway bar mount back 2". This has pros and cons: good news is the same diameter sway bar will now act stiffer on the car, but the bad is if you have a Panhard bar, your sway bar will not fit as the panhard bar is in the way now. So if you have a panhard bar back there, try a different brand control arm that uses OEM sway bar mount positions..
    Ask me how found out.

    Step one: install Rovos wheels on one side of the car, LMR wheels on the other other side!

    Is it the same install for the double adjustable lowers as the single?

    This might be a long shot because it is a 5yr old video but I have a question. For some reason I noticed on my 00GT the rear axle seems crooked. The measurement from wheel to quarter panel are different on each side. I don’t know how it’s possible but I may need adjustable LCA to bring it back in line.

      I would visually inspect all of the control arm bushings and the rear upper axle bushings. Rear lower control arms will have no effect on the side to side movement of the axle. -Landan

    I’ve installed the BRK member, lower control, arms and rear upper and lower control arms with the rears. I’m trying to figure out how to adjust it since I’m putting the car on coil overs as well. Do you have a video explaining how to adjust them for that?

      Once the desired ride is achieved, check the pinion angle and adjust the upper control arms accordingly. The only time you'll need to adjust the lower control arms is to center the rear end to the car. No, we don't have a video on those procedures. -Landan

    So I can’t get the sway bar to fit right after installing the new arms, and the bolts are super tight when I try to put the bolt through the new arm and it feels like I’m ruining something. Just wondering if I am missing something.

    • @latemodelrestoration
      @latemodelrestoration  Рік тому

      What brand is the sway bar? If it was bolted to the factory rear lower control arms, then it will bolt to the BMR control arms. Unless, the BMR rear lower control arms weren't manufactured correctly. Send us some pictures of what's going on. -Landan

    I know this is an older video. But my mustang is lowered quite a bit. So what would i have to do differently with the adjustable control arms from this video? Like adjustability wise???

    • @latemodelrestoration
      @latemodelrestoration  5 років тому +1

      These will help you correct pinion angle and adjust the center of gravity on a lowered mustang so you aren't tearing up u joints. They will also help the car handling wise and reduce wheel hop.

      The correct orientation will be the poly bushing sise on the rear end and the spherical rod ends on the body side. Thank you again and please let us know if you anything else.
