Rear adj. Control arms

[ryan russell]

The added sidewall thickness you’re so proud of translates to a smaller diameter male threaded part, so it’s all relative. Until actual strength tests show which is better, using material thicknesses to compare strength is entirely subjective. Maybe their steel is stronger? Maybe the pipe being threaded instead of a weld in **** is stronger? I’d be very interested in seeing actual strength tests between the two to see if the claims of thicker walls and thinner male threaded rods translates to a stronger component. And even if it does, it begs the question: do they NEED to be stronger? Are the ones on the market strong enough, and are all the extra engineering that went into the redesign even necessary? Just thoughts.

I am not putting your work down any bit.. they are badass arms.. and I agree wonder how they both do in strength test

Core and Grunt Fab both offer a lifetime warranty against "Breaking the arms". I have been welding and fabbing for over 20 years. Only way a 3/16" wall DOM tube is bending or breaking, is if it is in a high speed accident. 5/16" is way overkill...not to mention weighs 1.6# more.

Grunt Fabs weld in **** is made of 4140 steel. When you mill, and thread a DOM tube, it leaves room for expansion, makes it weaker, and gives the chance of the thread ripping out.
By using a machined 4140 steel weld in **** that's already machined and threaded, strength is increased by 50% because there is hardly and room for thread expansion.
