Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms

The Maximum Motorsports Heavy Duty Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms are engineered to significantly enhance the traction and handling of 1999-2004 Ford Mustangs equipped with a solid rear axle. By replacing the stock soft rubber bushings and flexible stamped steel control arms, these components minimize unwanted deflection, which can lead to wheel hop and unstable handling. The adjustable spring perch allows for precise ride height adjustments, enabling users to raise the rear by up to 2 inches or lower it by up to 1 inch. This adjustability is beneficial for aesthetic preferences, compensating for added weight, optimizing launch characteristics by altering the instant center and anti-squat percentage, or for fine-tuning corner weights during vehicle scaling. The 3-piece urethane bushings have a hard center section to prevent fore/aft deflection and softer outer sections for necessary angular motion, preventing binding and protecting the chassis torque-boxes. The spherical bearing at the axle end provides articulation while eliminating deflection. While these Heavy-Duty control arms are suitable for Mustangs with under 400 rwhp that are launched hard, Maximum Motorsports recommends their Extreme-Duty control arms for vehicles exceeding 400 rwhp or those frequently subjected to drag-race style launches from a dead stop. This recommendation is due to the potential for overloading the urethane bushings in extreme acceleration scenarios, which could lead to premature failure. The MMRLCA-6 includes a swaybar mount and is manufactured by MM in the USA.
