help with control arm

I bought a used k member and front control arms both upper and lower. I put new ball joints in both upper and lower. When installing the lower ball joint I noticed some aluminum spacers on the ends of the QA1 rod. I found three of them but I'm missing one anyone know where i can buy these locally or what the name of them?

BMR makes aluminum spacers for the QA1 shocks, to restore the ride height on cars that have been lowered, and where people don't want to swap out the springs or adjust the QA1 seat up real high. They are 1/2" thick, and can be stacked for a 1" rise.

Is that possibly what you are looking for? You can find them at Thunder Racing:

I had the same issue when I bought some Spohn a-arms. I just called up Spohn directly and they took care of me. I only needed one, but I bought two just in case. They were only about $4 a piece.

I assume you are talking about the spacers that slip over the bolts on top and bottom of the rod ends? What brand are the a-arms?
