Upper Control Arm Support ?

(1/5) > >>

Brian Conway:
Anybody using this tool ?  It's called a Upper Arm Support ?  Pros and Cons ?  Is it made or available ?  65 Shop Manual pg.3-14  Thanks,  Brian

CharlesTurner:
It's good to have to keep the upper shock bushings from getting damaged when jacking the car.

jwc66k:
I usually use a chunk of hi-tech 2 X 4 between the fame and the arm.

ruppstang:
We built some after my customer left his car on the two post lift for two weeks and discovered the shock bushings were ruined and the upper ball joint boots were torn.
In the past I have used Jims hi tech 4X4's but I really like this metal design. We added rubber to the ends so as not to mark up things.

preaction:
Not using them  messes with the strut rod bushings too.
