Re: What would you do?

Here's a radical idea. What if you bent the two long arms of the "A" at the same angle outwards. It would take the correct tubing bender and some setup but it would move the rod end inward towards the center-line on the car. Each straight leg would become a "s" so to speak.

A very slight bend outwards at the center of both tubes would get you the 3/8" you need.

No need to weld or reduce the strength of the piece.

Otherwise its a do over or replace the bushes with rod ends.
