Control Arm Brackets

Since I'm using the existing sub frame on the front, all I had to create for control arm brackets were the lower rear.  On the RX8 these are in a horizontal configuration for alignment purposes.

Here you can see the final bracket in its horizontal configuration:

There's still tape covering the compliance bushing here from when I painted the aluminum control arm, but you can see the cam nut for alignment adjustments:

I used an 2"x2"x1/8" square tube and had to cut it down to be the correct height to accept the arm and bushing:


I just hope my positioning is accurate enough that this small amount of adjustment the cam nut gives will be adequate for wheel alignments...
