AFTER ALL OF THE TIME AND EFFORT EXPENDED ON YOUR RIDE, YOU DEFINITELY CAN NOT LET YOUR STAMPED OEM CONTROL ARMS DETRACT FROM ALL THAT WORK. FINISH YOUR SUSPENSION OFF WITH THESE NEW TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS. 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 SHOCKWAVE INSTALLATION, BALL JOINT BINDING AND FRAME CLEARANCE ISSUES THAT CAN HAUNT SOME VEHICLES. WHEN YOU COMBINE THE PERFORMANCE BENEFITS WITH THE ELEGANT DESIGN OF THESE ARMS, THERE IS NO BETTER CHOICE ON THE MARKET. DEVELOPMENT: STRONGARMS ARE DEVELOPED BY RIDETECH 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 ALLOWS ONGOING EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE STRONGARMS. DESIGN: RIDETECH THINKS 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. THE NEW 4-AXIS TUBING BENDER ALLOWS PRECISE, REPEATABLE BENDS THAT NO OTHER MACHINE CAN ACHIEVE. WE CAN CREATE ELEGANT TUBING BENDS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE SEVERAL SEPARATE WELDED COMPONENTS. LOWER ARMS FEATURE A UNIQUE DESIGN THAT COMBINES THE CONTROL AND STRUT ROD INTO A STRONGER, MORE APPEALING 1 PIECE DESIGN. ADDITIONAL CASTER IS DESIGNED INTO THE ARMS AND INCLUDES A ROBUST BEARING IN AN ALUMINUM HOUSING AT THE FRONT MOUNT TO REPLACE THE SOFT FACTORY RUBBER UNITS. COMPONENTS: POWDER-COATED IN A SATIN BLACK FINISH AND COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED WITH BALL JOINTS AND BUSHINGS. TO REDUCE ALL STICTION FROM THE SUSPENSION MOVEMENT, INJECTION MOLDED DELRIN BUSHINGS ARE USED. THESE BUSHINGS ARE ALSO IMPREGNATED WITH TEFLON, WHICH ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR LUBRICATION. GEOMETRY: GEOMETRY OF A SUSPENSION STARTS WITH THE POSITION OF THE FRAME MOUNTS AND THE HEIGHT OF THE SPINDLE, NOT THE SHAPE OF THE CONTROL ARM. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A FEW SMALL THINGS IN CONTROL ARM DESIGN THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN HOW A VEHICLE DRIVES AND PERFORMS. RIDETECH CREATES EXTRA CASTER POTENTIAL BY ADJUSTING THE FORE AND AFT POSITION OF THE BALL JOINTS. AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING SURE THE WHEEL IS PROPERLY POSITIONED IN THE WHEEL-WELL SO ANY NEW WHEELS FIT LIKE THEY SHOULD. THE BALLJOINT CAMBER TRAVEL IS RE-CENTERED, SO THE BALL JOINT DOES NOT BIND DURING EXTREME SUSPENSION MOVEMENT. THE PERIMETER OF THE STRONGARMS IS CONTOURED TO ALLOW MAXIMUM WHEEL CLEARANCE AND TURNING RADIUS. ALL SHOCK MOUNTS, AIRSPRING MOUNTS, AND SWAYBAR MOUNTS ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE DESIGN SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FINISH THE ENGINEERING IN ORDER TO ENJOY YOUR RIDE. FRONT & REAR MUSCLEBAR SWAY BARS: THE MOST OVERLOOKED SUSPENSION COMPONENT IS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT. THE MAGIC YOU COULD BE MISSING IN YOUR SUSPENSION MAY BE NOTHING MORE THAN SIMPLY ADDING OR UPGRADING YOUR SWAY BARS! THE NEW MUSCLEBAR SWAY BARS WERE DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR LOWERED VEHICLES AND WILL GREATLY ENHANCE THE CORNERING PERFORMANCE OF YOUR CAR OR TRUCK. NOT TO MENTION, THEY WILL ALSO MAKE SOME VEHICLES SAFER AT THE SPEEDS WE TRAVEL ON TODAYS INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. INCREASED BAR DIAMETERS, POLYURETHANE BUSHINGS, AND APPROPRIATE ATTACHMENT LINKS ALL ADD UP TO A SWAY BAR PACKAGE THAT IS DESIGNED TO WORK CORRECTLY WITH YOUR LOWERED CAR OR TRUCK AND YOUR AGGRESSIVE DRIVING STYLE. IMPROVES RANGE OF MOTION & ELIMINATES BINDING STRONG DESIGN PREVENTS DEFORMATION AND FAILURE POSITIVE TRANSFER OF MOTION THROUGH SWAY BAR OEM HIGH-PERFORMANCE QUALITY FRONT HQ SERIES SHOCKWAVES: HQ SERIES SHOCKWAVES MOUNT ON YOUR 1959-1964 GM B-BODY JUST LIKE COILOVERS AND DELIVER GREAT RIDE QUALITY AND HANDLING WITH ADJUSTABLE AIR RIDE STANCE.
