Installing tubular upper/lower control arms and QA1 coilover

[Jayz79]

Hello, I purchased the B-Body spindles from GM parts direct, and A-arms from Spohn. Im not sure if anybody has this exact setup.


I installed the drivers side components, It doesn't look correct.

Does the lower end of the spring look wrong in the picture? Im not sure if the spindles look like the B-Body ones.

I don't have the upper shims installed so the upper arm is a little loose too. The upper ball joint looks cocked , the seal is coming apart also. It looks too low, etc. My guess is that since there isn't any weight on the car, it looks this way. Any advice? Thanks.

It should straighten out when you put some wight on the front end

The a-arms will travel up 3-4 inches or more when the weight of the car is on them. Right now they are hanging in full droop, so that is normal.

Are those upper arms designed to function with the B body spindles?
