Upper Control Arms

G-Plus control arms are designed for performance street, however cars crossing over into drag racing or road racing are also utilizing this application.

G-PLUS arms use stock or 2 inch drop spindles. They can also be used with ATS spindles. The arms have additional caster built into the them and a improved camber curve. The combination keeps the tire flatter on the pavement. A bump stop is installed on the control arm eliminating the stock one on the frame. The new bump stop location allows for a limiter, which can be installed for drag race applications. The arms are shipped assembled with billet cross shafts, ball joints, Del-a-lum bushings (standard), and bump stops. New alignment specifications are included.

G-Plus control arms are offered with Del-a-lum bushings or polyurethane.

Lower Control Arms using standard springs.

Global West's tubular lower arms are perfect for stock or performance suspension upgrades. The arms are supplied with ball joints, bump stops, control arm bushings, special sway bar end links, 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. Additional header tube clearance is also achieved through our design.

Tech Tip: You should always check the factory lower arm at the ball joint location for cracks and tears. Over the years it is not uncommon to see damage in this area.

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.
