Height Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms - Extreme Duty Maximum Motorsports 1999-2004

Product Description

Maximum Motorsports Extreme-Duty Height Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms for 1999-2004 Gt / V6 Mustangs.

Features: The spring perch design allows easy ride height changes, with the car still on the ground. Road racers and autocrossers can set not only the ride height, but also corner weights, for optimum handling. A car can be fully loaded up with gear for a road trip, and then have the rear ride height adjusted back up to normal, to avoid bottoming out. These control arms have the mounts for a factory-style rear swaybar.

Adjustment: The easy adjustment of MM's Control Arms allows raising the rear ride height up to 2", or lowering it as much as an inch. A heavy-duty weight-jack bolt, similar to those used in NASCAR, makes this possible.

Drag Racing FAQ: The MM Extreme-Duty Rear Lower Control Arms should be used for any form of drag racing. Repeated standing-start launches will eventually damage urethane bushings. The large Teflon-lined spherical bearings at both ends of the MM Extreme-Duty control arms completely eliminate the deflection allowed by urethane bushings during hard launches. This reduces axle windup, and allows the car to react more quickly. Unlike more commonly used bushing materials such as hard urethane, Delrin, or steel, spherical bearings allow proper articulation of the rear suspension. This eliminates torque box damage caused by suspension bind.

Ride Quality: While many people have expressed concern about the potential for increased NVH when a control arm has spherical bearings at each end, we have found that the Extreme-Duty control arms are still suitable for street use. There is only a slight increase in noise and vibration over a stock control arm. The increase in noise is usually only noticeable in a car that has the stock, quiet mufflers. An increase in road vibration can be felt by rear seat passengers, but not in the front seats.
