Title: RuffStuff lower control arms
Post by: Wingman on January 30, 2014, 04:29:05 PM

For those shopping for LCAs, RuffStuff has finally come out with theirs.  Poly bushings, .25 wall tube, and heims.  All for $190/pair!  I spent 3/4 of that just in heims to upgrade my Rusty's units last year.

In my opinion and I think others in the club would agree, RuffStuff makes a durable quality product.  These are the way to go for hard-core short arms.

Is the threading in the arm welded in nut or more substantial than that?

I'd bet the bung comes welded in.

its called a weld in bung. part of it (1" or so) fits inside the tube to align it, then its fully welded around the outside. its threaded on the inside, all the way through.

I'd been looking at reviews on adjustable ca and there were a few complaints about bung failures. Weld fails and thread stripping. Most of them had short/narrow bungs. Sounds like these might be the right direction for me.
