    You need longer tie rods apparently for ra40/65 LCA's

    Yes Sigma arms WILL require RA40 tie rods however im unsure weather RA40 amrs require longer tie rod.

    XT130 corona arms will NOT require longer tie rods.

    thats where you are half correct...

    you also need the ra40 adjuster tube...

    which might only cost $20 or so, but would take an hour of your time by the time you get to the wrecker etc.....

    the ends are only half the deal....


    pics of what? it is a lower control arm...
