Here are the completed right and left upper control arms. The A arms are also called control arms because they control the movement of the front suspension. You will notice that the coupling nut end points away and upward at each end. Everything is the same for the left and right side except that it makes a difference which side you put the angled portion of the control arm. The next photo shows the patterns for the lower control arms. You say they look just like the upper arms. This is getting boring. I agree but they are slightly different. I have decided to make

both parts of the lower arms out of 1" tubing. I hope this will add some integrity to these supports. The next photo shows a 1/2" coupling nut prepared to weld on to the angled portion of the 1" tube. I hope I don't forget to grind the rust off of the pipe before welding. I think I forgot to mention that you also need to grind the plating off of the nuts at the point they will be welded so that it does not interfere with the weld.

This next photo shows the end that will connect to the spindle. I am using a 5/8" coupling nut on this end in hopes of providing a stronger support on the underside of the spindle. You will note that the plating has been ground off of the coupling nut so it will not contaminate the weld.

In this next photo you can see why it is important to weld the straight and angled part together in the correct orientation so that it will connect to the spindle at the correct angle. You may ask, If this is the lower arm shouldn't the rose joint be pointing upwards instead of downwards? You would be correct but since it is threaded you can turn it any direction you want and then tighten it down with the jam nut.

The next picture shows the lower control arms ready for action.
