BUILDER Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I have done factory arms with no issues at all. Just take them to a good chromer and it will work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUILDER Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 No they do not need to be removed. You can not remove the bal joints from stock a arms. That is why most people do not powder coat them. The heat from the powder coating will take the bushing out in them but you can chrome them just fine. People chrome stock a arms all the time there is no issue with doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUILDER Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 It was 210.00 to strip and chrome the stock arms and no that is not a stock swing arm it is a aluminum swing arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlevasseur Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 they have been chroming stock a-arms for years. Just inspect your ball joints to make sure they are in good condition and send them off. Don't wanna chrome a set of arms that have ball joints about to fall out of the arm.. lol...jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
