Rear Upper Control Arm Install Help

[MaximusLJR06]

Getting ready to install my rear upper savvy arms, but am wondering what to do about mounting the brake line and parking brake lines that are attached to the original control arms. What has everyone’s solution been? Thanks guys

I just zip tied them halfway on the UCA. For the old mounting brackets I used two vice grips to remove the wraparound piece.

I'm contemplating the same issue and considering these.

Is there anything zip ties can't fix?

Yes, but duct tape solves those problems!

I used the light bar clamps that @ToddL recommended. Zip ties work but I like as clean of a look as possible.

So another question. Was size do I need to drill the holes for the new savvy bolts? Just took an arm off and realized the new bolts dont go into the factory holes

Never thought I’d see a factory square hole for a bolt

Thanks! Got the drivers side in. Now time for the passenger and then I’ll dial the pinion in

zip ties are nice because when you have to go back and adjust them later on it's not too hard to just twist the arm inside the zip tie.

Thanks for all help guys! Got both rear uppers in and pinion adjusted. Completed my savvy arm set now. Drilling the mounting hole for the passenger side frame bigger was fun with the big ass factory exhaust in the way.

I just used stock bolts.
