  • Control Arms

    Hello all,

    I was wondering if any of you have replaced your front control arms and rear trailing arms with after-market product. Any suggestions?

    Mike,

    rear LCA's (lower control arms) are very easy to do.. takes a few minutes to swap those out... theres a loooooong list of companies that make em. I'll always recommend www.bmrfabrication.com as they're built like a brick shit house.

    Front control arms require a bit more work and definitely tons of safety on a third gen.. Typically their pretty expensive and aren't done unless your swapping out a k-member as well. Not only that but, they arent as easy to find.

      Ahhh.... I see..... think I'll just going to keep the stock front control arms for now. I need to replace the bushings soon, just have to find someone who can press them in for me.

      Thanks Shawn, I'll check them out.

              Thanks Caveman, I didn't know they sold presses there. I am very familiar with Summit, as I used to live close to the store in Ohio. I used to go there just to drool.... haha....
