Nice job, did you just straighten the existing piece and weld it back in?

I welded a new piece in place of the old one. If I wasn't replacing the a-arm bushing then i would have to straighten it out otherwise welding it would burn up the rubber bushing. I figure replacing the metal would be straighter than trying to use a press to straight out the old one. You can make your camber lock/spacer in various sizes that way if the steering is too heavy or you need more or less caster, you can adjust it accordingly.

Yhis is what Pat Mical does when he modifies the front Arms. Last I knew it was around $600 for the front A arms.
