Just wondering if anyone could look at their sled and tell me if the lower control arm (from center mount to spindle mount) is supposed to be straight or does it have a slight outward curve toward the spindle?
 

Kinda tought they should be straight.I was going to take them off and put them in my press.Just wanted to make sure-LOL!!
 
The problem with straightening them when off the sled is you change the angle of the mounting point at the spindle end. To do it properly a jig needs to be made with the proper angle where it is mounted to the spindle. After straightening off the sled the angle will be off and cause binding on the bushings unless you have excessive play in them.
