available for standard spring and coilover applications.

applications
Global West's tubular lower arms are perfect for stock or
performance suspension upgrades. Both arms are supplied with ball joints, bump stops, control arm
bushings, and a innovative rotating spring cushion. The cushion acts two fold
by offering isolation and a proper indexing of the coil spring. Even if you trim your coil spring
in order to lower the car, the lower spring cushion simply rotates for
proper re-index. The control arms also provide additional header tube clearance, requires
no frame modifications and are pre-assembled for your conveyance.
Just take them out of the box and bolt them on the car.

Benefits and Features:
Global West's control arms are well designed providing excellent
support around the spring, ball joint and bushing areas. Straps are utilized at the
bushing locations while 3 tubes support the spring pocket. The sway bar mounting plate
acts as a gusset strengthening the ball joint area. Incorporate our rotating spring
pocket and you have an unbeatable package. The following list specifies standard
features with this lower control arm.
- Strength: (Built out of 1 5/8 roll cage tubing ).
- Del-a-lum bushings are used for most applications. Polyurethane is also available.
- Reinforced sway bar pick up points.
- Lower arm bump stops are standard.
- Steering bump stops are standard.
- Cross bar supporting spring pocket.
- Additional clearance is added through the middle of the arm for header tubes.
- Traditional Global West straps are used at bushing housing locations for strength.
- Control arms are powder coated black.
- Fully assembled when shipped.

Why a rotating spring mount?
There are a three reasons why we built a
rotating spring pocket. First :
A lot of people cut the coil spring to
obtain a desired ride height. When you cut the spring, the spring will
no longer line up in the lower arm or
upper frame mount . In some cases this can cause
the spring to make noise rubbing on the edge of the pocket. In this case
the spring cushions solves the rubbing issue and by rotating it provides
a way to re-index the spring. Second:
The spring will be loaded properly around the coil. If you will
notice most tubular lower control arms have a flat plate that the spring sits on. There
really is no index. This places a lot of load at the very end of the coil spring rather
than on the full coil. Over time this will fatigue the coil spring. Sag may occur. Third: Ride height
adjustments can be made by shimming under the spring pocket.
