Hello all,

What is the proper way to measure adjustable control arms from center eye to eye? I have TF adj lower control arms, do I measure it from the OUTER or INNER part of the bend? Thanks in advance.

Center to center

Yes, center to center. Because the arms are at an offset, does it really matter if I measure center to center from the inner or outer part of the arms? I would think the outer would be longer than the inner? Your recommendations? Thanks again...

I'm pretty sure its the same. The joint is bent back the other way. (if that makes sense) It is only curved to clear the frame and other parts in the way.

Rotate the joints on both end so that they are flat/parallel to each other and then measure center to center. It won't make a difference which side you measure from if you do this.
