Tubular lower arms from Global West are supplied with ball joints, bump stops, Del-a-lum control arm bushings, special sway bar end links, and a spring cushion for indexing the coil.

The Global West Advantage: Why do we use 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, it 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. The spring cushion solves the rubbing issue and rotating it provides a way to re-index the spring.

Second: The spring will be indexed properly around the coil. 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 and sag may occur.

Third: Ride height adjustments can be made by shimming under the spring pocket.

These Global West lower control arms feature the following:

• Strength: (Built out of 1-5/8 inch roll cage tubing ).
