Unacceptable: tubular upper control arms with no bump stop pads.

I started the thread to let others know about what I found so that they can make informed choices.
I did a search here and did not find this topic mentioned so I moved ahead. Some people buy tubular control arms when making a disc brake swap where the big ball joint UCAs are required. Maybe they are not interested in 18 inch wheels and 275 series tires, they just see an opportunity to install a replacement part that seems to be a step up from stock. What if they have no welder or welding experience? UCAs like these would leave them in a spot.
A few little issues when installing aftermarket parts has become common practice. Very few aftermarket/replacement parts are 100% plug and play.
Anyone that has spent any time working on cars knows that.
Just like when you are dealing with some annoying person....you let a few things slide but as the negatives start to pile up, you are compelled to mention stuff that in and of themselves isn't such a big deal.
