9/26/07 - We are currently not taking any more orders for control arms until we get caught up with existing orders. If you have an order in for this item you should be receiving regular emails updating you on it's status. If you are not or if you wish to get a current update please email us at our support address.

If you're putting down any appreciable amount of power you're most likely experiencing the symptoms of a weak control arm setup. Stock control arms are designed with ride comfort in mind first and foremost and use rubber bushings to isolate them from the subframe. The problem is that under power these bushings (which allow almost a full inch of play) compress, allowing the control arm to arc out. This results in lost power, excessive torque steer, and in the worst cases: torn CV boots.

Our control arms increase traction and reduce torque steer, and do it all for less than $100 more than a set of stock control arms would cost. Here's how we improve them:

Here's how we improve them!

• Ball Joint - The stock ball joint is a sealed, non-replaceable unit. We replace this with a heavy duty aftermarket joint complete with grease fittings.

• Front Mounting point - This is the main source of problems. This area uses a rubber bushing which easily compresses and increases wheel travel side to side. We replace this part with a spherical bushing which limits side to side travel while allowing for easier suspension travel up and down. Additionally we seem weld the mounting point whereas the stock mounting point is only tack welded. This further increases strength. In these picture on the left you can see the stock bushing, torn, as many are and our replacement bushing in the picture on the right. As you can see, side to side movement is essentially completely eliminated with our setup.

• Rear mounting point - The rear mounting point uses a new synthetic rubber bushing which retains seperation from the subframe.

• Hardware and Finish - W Body Store Race Ready Control arms come complete with high grade hardware, are media blasted, and then painted with an epoxy paint. (later revisions will be powdercoated)

Over a year of development and many thousands of miles have been logged on this setup with only a slight reduction in ride quality.

Due to inconsistencies from vehicle to vehicle we ship the arms with sleeves that will fit the majority of the vehicles. You may find the included sleeves too long to fit into the front mounting point. If this is the case simply grind the sleeves down, ensuring that the arm is still very tight in the mounting point.
