Cobra A-arm Q...

[Tally_4.6]

My ball joints need replacing so i figure instead of doing just those i might as well upgrade the whole A arm.
I was thinking about doing the Cobra A arms.
Questions, comments, tips, advice?

I have em.. and love them. They did increase the turning radius and that was the best part. If you are going to install them yourself, give yourself two days... took longer than I though it would. I do rec. them though.

Why did it take two days? I recently bent my passenger side A-arm so I want to get 03 cobras as well. I went to the Junk yard at first and almost got off a stock A-arm but couldn't get one bolt off (the one with the ball joint). Up until that point it didn't really take that long.

I did replace the A-arms, upgraded to 13" brakes and install a bumpsteer kit with in 6 hours.

Yes they do increase the turning ratio and if you need ball joints you might aswell just upgrade the arms and get ball joints done too.

AND please dont get them from Latemodel,i only paid $157 shipped for mine,$250 + shipping seems ridiculous.

Cool, so it's a good upgrade. Alright i'll check in with my parts guy at the local Ford dealer in the near future.

 

[SRT Handz]

I got mine for $40 lol

 

[Spooling2Valve]

it was a good upgrade for me also, would recommend the swap.

 

[Tally_4.6]

Barely $200? Shit these things are 400 bucks brand new now, good god.

 

[94-5.0GT]

ever thought about getting new ball joints and bushings? I bought new Steeda X2 ball joints and got new control arm bushings.

 

[Tally_4.6]

Nah not really, figured i'd just do the whole arm and be done with it.

 

[vermilion]

i'd rather just change the arm too. eff all that knuckle torture.

I did this and its a great upgrade! Me and my step dad replaced the a arms tie rod ends sway bar end links and shocks in around 3 hours, I dont know about this swap taking 2 days..
