control arm angle HELP!!!!

[dvanhorn]

I am wanting to raise the back of the rear upper control arms. Does the mounting hole on the rearend have to be rasied to raise the control arm or will this mess up the geomertry? Could plates be welded on the uca and rebore the mounting hole? Any help would be appreciated.

what kind of car?
and they make what they call hop stoppers which you use to raise the upper hole for some cars like chevelle for one.

It is a mustang 8.8 rear. I have not seen any nohop bars for them, that is what I'm looking for or something like it.

Lowering the bottom control arm at the rear end mount would do the same thing. The south side bars did this not sure if they are still made. How fast is the car now? Auto or manual tranny

[chpcamaro]

yup what 68 chevelle said and they do have them for your car

It is in the works now just trying to get some things worked out. Looking to run in the mid 6's in 1/8 to be conpetitive in class. It is a all motor class and stk. suspension. It is limited to 420 sb @ min.# 3100 & 470 bb @ 3400 with 26 x 10 st. tires.

There are a couple of kits that will move the upper control arm forward on the rear axle (baseline suspension and TeamZ motorsports IIRC). This will do the same thing as raising the axle mounting point. Moving the lower control arm down (axle side) will generally result in too short of a IC length, and too much anti-squat, (among other things), but that does depend on a lot of other parameters. I use the baseline suspension kit, and have been very happy with it, I run the 1/8th in 6.2x-6.3x's
