Description
What says âperformanceâ more than a set of tubular control arms! After all of the time and effort expended on your ride, you definitely canât let your stamped OEM control arms detract from all that work. Finish your suspension off with these new tubular control arm systems from Ridetech. Built with all of the care and experience you have come to expect from us, these tubular control arms are a precision engineered solution for ShockWaveÂŽ or Coil-Over installation. When you combine the performance benefits with the elegant design of these arms, there is no questionâŚ. You want these.
Development â StrongArms⢠are developed by RidetechÂŽ in Jasper, Indiana on an actual running, driving vehicle. This allows us to properly address ALL fitment and performance issues. It also allows us to document an installation, demonstrate the installation to our sales techs and dealers, and allows ongoing evaluation of the performance of the StrongArmsâ˘
Design â We think the best way to design any component is to keep it simple. That is why Strong Arms⢠are designed with as few components as possible. They are manufactured in house on our 4 axis tubing bender that allows precise, repeatable bends that no other machine can achieve. We can create elegant tubing bends that would otherwise require several separate welded components. The perimeter of the StrongArm is contoured to allow maximum wheel clearance and turning radius. Double sheer lower shock mounts provide a strong attachment for the Shockwave or Coil-Over.
Components â Powder coated in a satin black finish and completely assembled with ball joints and bushings. To reduce deflection and stiction from the suspension movement Injection Molded Delrin Bushings are used, which are also impregnated with Teflon to eliminate the need for lubrication.
Geometry â Properly designed control arms will add more positive caster (without a pile of shims) and will position the wheel in the wheel opening for maximum clearance. Ball joint angles are repositioned to prevent binding.
