OK, had the new $150 arms installed last friday and got it aligned today, and it handles/rides like new with NO sounds, popping, clunks ... just silence..love it..

on thursday I will have the new bushings pressed into my original arms, and if these china arms give me any trouble I will put the OEM's back on..

Cool Billy did you do the work yourself? I do my own alignments now, can't trust those places. And on tv I saw how a 3 million dollar fancy race and street car was aligned about like I do it with strings. I was floored. It can all be done with strings and a level and a square, protractor, fun stuff.
