Why not get the poly bushings??? What is Delrin?

Yeah. I bought some Tubular arms from A-Team for my 57 Chevy that were supposed to bolt right in. WRONG. And they will not refund my money. I'm now looking at replacing my control arms with factory arms.

Question. What was your issue with the control arms you bought? Just curious if it's a minor issue that the guys may be able to help you with before you go out and buy another set.

Would not align properly. Smashed the grease cup on one of the uppers. Lower arm had connection for sway bar, so that was obvious as to which side. Tried both upper arms and neither worked. One had the 2" drop spindle slanted way forward and the bumper hit where it was supposed to. Couldn't even budge the wheel to turn. Other upper had the bumper about 2 inches to the rear of where it was supposed to hit on the frame. Spindle was aligned upright. Wheel turned inward but not outward. Grease cup caved in from the frame of the car. Out of frustration, pulled everything apart.

Anyone have any experience with Blacktop Performance on eBay? They have a pretty good price for new arms.
