I almost read that as saying you can change the shocks but no other changes are permitted. Obviously can't add things, but can't swap either? So you can't change control arms to aftermarket even if they bolt in the stock location and are stock style? Can't box/reinforce uppers and lowers on a GM A/B/G body?
YES .. HD Bolt On rear control arms replacement is fine.
Boxing is fine since it makes the stock arms stronger.
Hardened Bushings replacement is fine.
Does not change the geometry.

So long as it does not change the suspension design.
Which most don't. Safety first is good..!


My car uses 3/4" longer control arms to fit larger slicks.
