- This video shows tips and techniques for building tubular control arms from scratch. The control arms used in the video are prototypes.
The final versions, will change in design after testing as evaluation. The biggest change will be less weld joints to add strength.

Best video I found on making these because you use a universal approach. Not just for trophy trucks or a touring car, this method will work for any car. Very awesome! Thank you.
Great video, easy to follow, Super helpful. Thanks for making this!
Love the PAD tube idea. Consider drilling and taping holes in your baseplate to thread bolts up through to act as adjustable posts to hold and dial in the tubes as you build, instead of using what ever you have to prop the tubes up at the desired height.
Great instructional video. The pacing, detail and organization made it very easy to follow. Great content.
Thank you
Agreed
Great video, many good tips on creating good joins and custom arms.
Great video! Next if the video doesn't already exist in your profile extended control arms for travel, and shock mounts.
Looks incredible
Really? I guess I just shouldn't comment on someone's effort. At least he tried.
Bad ass video. Ty
awesome video, very helpfull, could you share what size tube you are using and what wall thickness and if there is any math behaind how you chose them?? Thanks!!!
1.25” 1/8” wal thickness DOM tubing
yo VAZ this is dope!! you welded the frame on my skylark for me. what would you charge for something like this?
Hey Chris, I would have to check out your set up to determine
Very cool. If I'm only going for strength, would it be possible to just box in my control arms with extra steel?
Depends on what they are made of
Интересно как выглядит в деле.....
А так молодец🤘⚡
They made a huge difference in handling and stability
Where did you get the scissors ? I’m a purchasing agent for a furniture company and the longest I buy is 12”. Love the video. What will I need to do to lower a suspension?
I don’t remember where I bought them…may have been Harbor Freight (15 years ago). You need lowering springs or coil overs to lower the suspension
Thank you for the reply . Would I need to shorten or add to top or bottom?
@@ronniejohnson317 you would not need to shorten anything. The lowering springs will bring the height down…as long as you don’t go too lower you camber should be in an ok range
Those look like the stud and bolt type ball joints as opposed to the tapered nut type. What vehicle are those for?
For Volvo 850
What size wall and tubing did you use?
1/4 wall Mild steel DOM tubing
@@vazfx16 thank You, in the middle of trying my first custom lower control arm for my lexus sc400
@@alexanderkelly5577 cool. Send video. Make sure you avoid unsupported butt welds. And to pass with good penetration, then run a cap over that bead.
where can i get same ball joint ?
I think I purchased them via IPD, but I don’t remember. Could have been Rock Auto also
looks great bro lmao
Thanks
What size/ type of tubing do you use?
I don’t remember the diameter offhand, but 1/8” wall, chromoly dom
88-98 Chevy k1500,2500,3500 silverado trucks need someone to make lower control arms. Someone would make a killing since they’re discontinued!
How reliable is the construction compared to the cast construction?
Cast is more reliable. This is for lightness, custom bushings and custom geometry.
@@vazfx16 thanks
I'm pretty sure that's a volvo control arm
What if it's not a flat control arm?
What car?
