low cost home made miller tool for upper control arm

[Cudan]

After reading i decided to make my own tool using the old upper pivot bar, pivot bar bushings, 2 bolts with 4 washers and 2 washers.

I cut the pivot bar to the right size for mounting the shortened pivot bar bushings. I also welded a washer on the pivot bar bushing.

I made the just fitting between the arms and secured it with the 2 bolts on the new pivot bar.

I mounted the tool on the new bar and mounted the new bushing a few turn to center the bar, see also the link above.

Now i could turn both old bushing out,1/16 inch each to spread the upper arm and mounted the new bushing according, see also the link above.

After mounting the bushings i turned the old bushings in and removed the tool, the movement of the new bar and bushing is as it should be.
