blaszak control arms
finally got my control arms back from marcus blaszak, they're in vermont (where my car is) so i haven't seen them, but i was wondering about the grease fittings i'm assuming they now have. what kind of interval do you grease these things? can't look it up in the manuals, cause obviously there's nothing there 
and by the way, thanks to skip for posting this sweet torque spec pic a while back
that's an NA but it's all the same for the turbo, correct?

Not sure what deal you worked out with Markus, but the ball-joints for the steel arms do not have any grease fittings unless modified. At $12 each, why bother 
The torque specs on there should all be the same - maybe with the exception that my arms are modified to use the late model drop-links for the sway bar.
Good Luck!

Skip,
Could you explain the late model drop links.
Thanks,
Alan

I just did the same thing by fixing some steel arms for my 86 except on the holes for the drop links I added some cups to contain the rubber pieces and I beefed them up along the edges more. (painted them red when I got done because thats what I had set up in the gun.)

The ones in the picture are late model - as opposed to early clips that bolted to the steel arms originally. Left myself set to use Delrin bushings (still in development, 2 yrs later
)
