Description
_x000D_There are several reasons to consider when upgrading to heavy-duty lower control arms, with strength being the most significant factor. The vehicles lower control arms are vulnerable to impact and damage as they are often the lowest point of the vehicle"s suspension. If a control arm is broken or severely bent, it can lead to catastrophic failure, causing damage to other rear-end components such as links, brake hoses, tail shaft, coils, and shocks. This damage will result in expensive towing and recovery costs.
_x000D_ _x000D_When performance and reliability are your top priority, the Superior Engineering heavy-duty Billet 7075 Lower Control Arms are a must-have for increased strength and resistance to bending, especially for off-road 4WD driving.
_x000D_ _x000D_Impact resistance is another important factor to consider when deciding what to choose. 7075-T6 Aluminium is known for being one of the strongest grades of Aluminium alloy used for various industrial purposes. It offers similar strength to many steel alloys, along with the benefits of machinability, corrosion resistance and high strength-to-weight performance.
_x000D_ _x000D_The weight savings from upgrading to 7075 T6 Alloy Lower Control Arms help reduce the unnecessary mass that the springs and shocks need to dampen, which leads to a better smoother ride. In addition to enhancing the appearance, anodizing provides surface corrosion protection and increases surface hardness.
_x000D_ _x000D_When changing a rear lower control arm, it is important to consider the material type, bush type, and design of the product. Superior Engineering's billet 7075-T6 alloy lower control arms are the strongest CNC billet lower control arms available due to their optimised shape which maximises the Arm"s sectional modulus (vertical cross section), to almost double of all other designs on the market. OE style rubber bushes are used to ensure maximum articulation without failure of the bushes.
_x000D_ _x000D_"7075-T6 Alloy is the ultimate in lightweight, high-strength materials for lower control arms and if you are the type of 4WD owner who likes to push the limits and want some of the strongest lower control arms available for your 4WD then these are for you."
