Control Arms
CONTROL ARMS
The lower control arm (2) bolts in frame brackets. The frame brackets have slotted holes which allow the arms (2) to be adjusted with cambolts (1) for caster and camber adjustment.
The upper control arms (2) bolt to the upper frame brackets and pivots through bushings.
The control arms have lube for life ball studs (3). The control arm travel (jounce) is limited through the use of rubber/urethane bumpers. Rebound travel is limited by the shock absorber.
Having the suspension at curb ride height when torquing bolts ensures good ride characteristics and longer bushing life by preventing excessive "wind-up" of the bushing.
