bit of an update :)

( pics will tell the story lol but ill brief on it ) ****ed off the crappy upper and lower control arms and replaced them with nolathane heavy duty items :) ( as you can see the upper rear control arm is solid and the old one is pressed plate lol very weak ), couldnt get a decent pic of the lower rear control arms but there basicly the same :)
