Prepping Control Arms for Coil-Overs – 1967 Chevelle
As promised, this article dovetails off the end of the control arm article. Since these two projects were done concurrently, now seems like a good time to cover the process of prepping these arms for use with coil-overs.
Normally the front shock absorber mounts from below the control arm with bolts that tread into a speed nut or welded nut (in this case) on the lower control arm. When you change that shock absorbers work load to also include supporting the weight of the vehicle, which requires that you place that load on top of the control arm in order for the load to transfer to the arm via direct contact rather than through the tensile load on the bolts. Below, I’ll detail the steps that I took to ensure this conversion would perform and last.
