    Hi guys,

    Over the next 2 days I'll be attempting to swap all my suspension control arms out for PZP adjustable items.

    I'm a mechanical noob, so any and all adivce is more than welcome. I'd hold a tech day but I'm in Dubbo and the closest forum member to my knowledge is still quite a long drive from here (shout out to Graham lol).

    Cheers,
    Joel

    Just remember that the new arms should be very slightly wider at one end(so put them BOTH in the same way around).

    P.S. Make sure you adjust the new arms to exactly the same length as the old ones. You can get very close to perfect results by test fitting(on the workbench)by putting the retaining bolts through the old arms and then sliding the new ones onto the protruding bolts. Adjust where needed, and then fit to the car(be sure to keep Left to Left and Right to Right when doing this).

    its an easy as job - Just have the right tools, breaker bars and extensions, and hope the car hasn't been in a prang where the previous owner has rounded the heads on some :/
