When optimizing your vehicle for the track, suspension components like lower control arms may be just what you need. These aftermarket enhancements can get your camber right where you want it, exceeding what is possible with factory components. Learn what control arms do, why performance models make sense, and where to find them.
What Do Lower Control Arms Do?
Optimize your rear camber with aftermarket lower control arms like the ones seen on this Subaru WRX.
Lower control arms play a significant role in your vehicle’s handling and safety. Connecting to the vehicle’s hub and the chassis, these components help keep wheels steady, promote proper alignment, and stabilize movement. If you have one that’s going bad, you may notice steering issues, uneven tread wear, vibrations, noises, and a general reduction in handling. While important for everyday drivers, track enthusiasts may look to aftermarket control arms to adjust suspension geometry.
What Are The Benefits Of Aftermarket Lower Control Arms?
Aftermarket lower control arms can improve cornering and overall performance on the track.
Aftermarket lower control arms are a vital upgrade when lowering a vehicle. They allow you to adjust camber well beyond what the factory camber bolt can do. They promote overall suspension performance and withstand the demands of aggressive track driving.
Camber is an important consideration when getting your vehicle track-ready. By implementing negative camber, you can get more tread on the pavement when cornering, which improves stability and driver confidence and ultimately lowers times.
