Pictures of rear control arm on car?

Hi all,

Does anyone have pictures from under the car of their OEM rear control arms? I need to see for a comparison. Thanks!

Sure doesn't look like there is much adjustment left in those control arms. Rod ends screwed all the way in

They were development pieces made to reduce camber from lowering... so they would need to be increased on the top. they still had 1/2" of movement in, though I keep them around as spares for now... come in handy when you get rearended, and your other control arms get turned into bananas.
