Not that this will matter to most people but, here are the weight differences. The stamped out OEM control arms weight is 4pds. and 14.8 oz.. The DNA's weight is 5 pds. and 4.9 oz. Most of the changes I've done to my car were to drop weight but, these and my roll bar have added some. Thanks for everyone's help. I should get done this morning and then an alignment check next week.

Looks great. So the rubbing on the sway bar was solved with the end-links?

Yes, I adjusted the links to give them more clearance. Today I found out that if you turn the steering all the way ,the wheels will rub the new control arms. I'm not a happy camper. I'm running custom thickness wheel spacers that keep the tires from rubbing the fenders now.

I'm making a set of Frankenarms. I plan on having them powder coated and I have the Powerflex bushings and new ball joints for them

Neat idea, sportfan. Did you ever weigh these completed franken-arms, by the way?

They aren't completed yet but, with the arm and all the parts ( new ball joint, new Powerflex Bushings ) on my electronic scales they are 6 pd. 5 oz. I'm going to drag out the Tig welder and finish building them tomorrow. Now that I'm retired , I'll have more time to mod the car.

I would like to know how much one of the cast Abarth lower control arms weights ?

I got the control arms back today. I may start back together tomorrow.
