Lower Tubular Control Arms (coilover applications)

Top quality tubular lower arms are available for coilover conversions.  For non coilover applications see G-PLUS for standard springs.

Global West's coilover tubular lower arms allow QA-1, Afco, and Air Ride technology components to  bolt directly on. The arms are supplied with ball joints, bump stops, and control arm bushings. They are designed to handle the increased load being placed through the shock attachment points versus the conventional stock spring location. The control arms are shipped pre-assembled for your conveyance.
Just take them out of the box and bolt them on the car.

Benefits and Features: 

We took a good look at the stock lower arm and the installation of a coilover kit in place of the standard spring. Which by the way installs on the top of the control arm, not from underneath. We felt we needed  a control arm  specifically designed to handle the load of a coilover application. The design of the lower arm would also clean up the appearance showing off the coilover kit. Therefore CTA-79H was designed. The arm offers 4 major strength areas to look at:
1. Doubling plates are used in the loaded areas where the shock bolts to the arm.
2. Cross tubes support the loaded shock mounting area and outside main tubes.
3. The sway bar mounting plate adds support to the ball joint area.
4. Straps are used around the bushing housings strengthening the housing to the tube.
CTA-79H will not except standard coil springs.
The following list specifies standard features with this lower control arm.

• Strength: (1-5/8 x .125 DOM wall roll cage tubing ).
• Del-a-lum bushings are standard. Polyurethane is also available.
• Reinforced sway bar pick up points--- standard.
• Lower arm bump stops --- standard.
• Steering bump stops --- standard.
• Cross bar support across shock mount area --- standard.
• Additional clearance is added through the middle of the arm for header tubes.
• Traditional all Global West tubular arms use straps at the bushing locations for strength.
• Control arms are powder coated black.
• Fully assembled when shipped.
