Re: trimming lower control arms

In my experience, I will never do it again. I trimmed the front lower control arms so I could run Centerline 15" wheels... after say 2 months control arm failed on the freeway and I went from the far right lane, 3 lanes over into the conrete wall... wasnt hurt that bad... somehow I missed everyone, Someone was watching over me that day I tell ya. Just fatigued due to trimming too much off the "rain gutter". I would rather buy a spacer of some sort, or just get bigger wheels.
