C2's Alero Updates

There was a write-up somewhere about using the older (Later 90's?) w-body adjustable turnbuckle style lower control arms on our cars. They replaced all four arms and so were able to adj. camber and toe in the rear. Can't find it though....

Suppose the bolts would work too as long as the tire does not contact the struts/spring perches

Found it...the link to the other website this came from is dead, but there might be enough info here

I did something like this years ago, except I went whole-hog and got the adjustable lateral links from BMR Fabrications. I still have them installed on my car to this day. The only thing I did was find a section of copper pipe to press in the bushings (acting as very thin sleeves) so I could use the stock mounting bolts (I did not want to drill the subframe to use the larger diameter bolts). In all these years, I've never had to touch 'em.

Hmm so I should order some BMR Fabrication lateral links now instead of having custom ones made eventually, it seems. Then press in some tubing to make it suitable for 12mm bolts.

Then I just need to make custom trailing arms, or just box them in like I did on the red car and powder coat them.
