The Unspoken truth about Aftermarket Control Arms...

Yes, they are strong...
Yes, the HARD heim-joints rattle the %#$# out of your suspension and are not protected by boots.
Yes, the Caster angle from the factory suspension is OVERLOOKED.....and serious Negative caster is the result that the 7mm adjustment of the factory castor bolt cannot remove even if it is incorporated into the tubular arm design......

Pics are worth a Grand....





And No, I am not in a pissing match with GREG. I apologize if I have come off in a negative way towards anyone. I tried responding to his post, but after typing all the responses, this damn site made me re-log in and loose everything. As for motor mounts, That's about the only thing I'm not going to bother making because these 944 X-members are all drilled differently, I've measured 4 of them. So If I were to build another 944 V8, I would be prepared for making set back plates that were left BLANK at the isolator mounting hole areas and mock it up just for the individual car....These cars really aren't precision made and that should be a disclaimer in any conversion manual.

So we can assume this topic is finished?

Apparently you haven't even made it to page 3...

2nd paragraph:

The Porsche 944 V8 Conversion Manual wrote:There are subtle design and manufacturing differences through the years of total production...

Bottom of page 3:

The Porsche 944 V8 Conversion Manual wrote:...All recommendations are made without any guarantees on the part of the author or publisher. Author and publisher disclaim all liability incurred in connection with the use of this information.

That should cover it.
