Default Found out I have BBK control arms..?

Was having my new wheels and tires put on this evening (see pics in other thread), and when it was up on the jack, I took a paper towel to a square bar that went from the rear axle area towards the front somewhere...so I wiped it off, and it's Silver powdercoated and says 'BBK' on a Blue sticker on the side...looked it up, and it seems to be a Lower Rear Control Arm..? Also wiped off my springs, and the front one says 'Steeda SSS650 34/96'? on it, and the rear one has similar numbers, but the Steeda part must've been facing in if they are the same brand. That just adds to the list of suspension things the [I assume] original owner did to it! Cool

not really a nice surprise... just more sub-standard aftermarket parts that need to be swapped out
