UMI Performance 2005-2010 Ford Mustang Adjustable Upper Control Arm- Poly Bushings - 1048-R
his upper rear control arm replaces the factory stamped upper control arm reducing wheel hop and increasing traction. The S197 Mustang chassis uses a 3-link rear suspension system with a panhard bar to control the rear end under the vehicle. Under hard loads the factory pieces tend to flex and rubber bushings deflect leading to poor traction and erratic handling. Replacing the factory pieces with stronger well designed items eliminates this flex allowing for better control of the vehicle and improved traction during launches.
This upper control arm is a direct bolt-on replacement which features greaseable Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings and on car adjustment. Quick and easy on-car adjustments can be made when needed with a simple turn of the wrench, there is no need to remove the control arm from the vehicle. Adjustment of the upper control arm allows pinion angle changes for suspension set-up and suspension correction when a vehicle has been lowered.
UMI Performance bump steer kits relocate the outer tie rod pivot point which results in decreased toe change during wheel travel. Standard kits include sleeves, rod ends, jam nuts and high quality, direct fit tapered studs. Race kits require drilling of the spindle and include heavy duty 5/8 bolts. Race kits are recommended for autocross and road race applications while standard kits are indicated for street/strip use.
