Thoughts on greasable upper amd lower control arm bolts?

I do my own alignments as well.

Oh nice. >fist-bump< >beer-cheer<

To be clear, my comment is about the fineness of adjustment, not the adjustment range. So, "how much" isn't what I was responding about, it's that you can't get less than a half-degree change.

Agreed, and I do my own alignments as well.

Edit: swing and a miss here i clicked reply and didn't type anything lol.

Dang, not what I wanted to hear. This is my dad mobile/tow rig, I'm keeping it basically stock. Gents what about using new bolts with OE cam plates? Also super impressive that you both do your own alignments that's a level of self reliance I don't possess.

If you've never had issues with stock components before, you're likely not going to start having issues with stock replacement components now.

Thanks for the compliment. It's kind of a PITA, but doing it myself is satisfying.

I feel that, that's why I'm going to do these control arms on my own. That and I'm a tight *** so for $600 and a weekend or two I'll gladly not pay 2k. That 1400 savings is like... three weeks of day care lol.

For the price i might buy a set and see what I think. Still open to discussion, won't be doing the repair until like April or May.

GM OE parts only. Nothing else is as enduring.

Plus grease-able moogs feel like turning a rusty bolt, factory ball joints felt nice and smooth. Don't really notice it driving, but as rough as the balljoints felt by hand, I'm thinking there is no way they will last.

I regret not getting timken hubs and gm control arms..

Maybe give them a nice never seize paint job first where it goes in the bushing?
