Default DC2 Lower Control Arm
One of the former owners of my DC2 told me that my lower control arm on the front right was bent. What can that affect? Would I get fender rub with 17's because if it?

get a new front control arm and then get an alignment... should help a lot... if you don't have a bent chassis...

Justin.

Talk to me before you buy anything. I have a shit ton of control arms up for up front (in my garage) and I can do the alignment for you.

Let me know homie.
