upgrading rear lower arms

billraymac · 10-15-2008

Has anyone upgraded the rear lower arms in addition to a rear sway bar and are buying rear arms worth it? Can anyone recomend one?

I haven't changed my sway bar but the lower control arms help a lot. Its a much stiffer ride and they elliminated the wheel hop.

What ones did you use? and do you remember where you got them?

be careful installing them, follow the directions to a T, improper instal rusults in cracks n pops. grease it good too

I have LCA's and with the pony package a good sway bar.
The LCA's are aftermarket J&M I believe,,red ones,and they work quite well. Easy to install and eliminates most if not all whell hop.
cant remember where I got them though.check summitt

BMR, CHE, and Steeda all make very good LCAs. I run the CHEs which are a one time grease with a delryn insert in the bushing. Maintenance-free for the most part.

Thanks for the feedback, I heard someone say that the rear sway bar mounts on the actual arms, is this true or is it mounted elsewhere?

No the sway bar does not mount to the control arms.

alright, last concern i have is that ive noticed a line of some kind in the stock rear arms, if I got the steeda ones (only ones i could find) is there a place to put the cord or would it have to be ziptied to the outside of it?
