I've had my (lighter replacement) aluminum LCA crossmember 90% finished for quite some time, but I'm not comfortable with the regular method of attaching the lower control arms (clamping/bending the crossmember tabs/flanges to prevent the steel bushing from rotating around the attachment bolts). I'm considering trying to fabricate a shaft piece that looks like what the C3 LCAs use, that then bolts to the front crossmember (or modify a C3 shaft, as the dimensions are somewhat in the same ballpark). This would allow me to just bolt the LCA shafts to the crossmember, with no tabs or bending stress involved. (I could also shim the shaft mounts outward if I wanted to change the camber or trackwidth.)
Just kicking around ideas at the moment. Please feel free to comment about this.
