- The A arm pivot bushings are looking pretty sad on my car. The boots on the ball joints don't look too hot either. While I am in there, what else should I be on the look out for? What upgrades might

- Hi Erich: It's my understanding that wide tires combined with full-lock low speed turns (backing out of the driveway or making a right turn at a stop light, for example) contribute to the lower fulcr

- Some notes: Doug Jennings of Tiger Auto in Dayton, OH has new (4140?) fulcrum pins, and the machining quality on them is excellent. They are factory size. Dale A has oversize (and maybe standard, too

- There are a number of welds that should be done to the A-arms and to the cross member. STOA I believe printed an article about this many years ago. http://66.175.58.218/tech/urethane/ar-stoabushings

- Both Dave and Theo are right. According to my PhD metalurgist, every fulcrum pin, no matter what composition (stock steel, 4140, titanium, krytonite, etc) will fail. The fault lies in the design not

- Good points. You might contact Tom Hall directly, though. I'm not sure if he's taking on any more crossmembers, but he not only has the correct jigs and fixtures, he's also engineered some more fixes
