1964 - 1972 Chevelle RideTech A-Body Front Lower Control A-Arms
What says “performance” more than a set of tubular control arms for your Chevelle!
After all of the time and effort expended on your ride, you definitely
can’t let your stamped oem control arms detract from all that work.
Finish your suspension off with these new tubular control arm systems
from Ridetech. Built with all of the care and experience you have come
to expect from us, these tubular control arms are a precision engineered
solution for ShockWave® installation, ball joint binding, and frame
clearance issues that can haunt some vehicles. When you combine the
performance benefits with the elegant design of these arms, there is no
question.... You want these.
Development - StrongArms™ are developed by
Ridetech® in Jasper, Indiana on an actual running, driving vehicle. This
allows us to properly address ALL fitment and performance issues. It
also allows us to document an installation, demonstrate the installation
to our sales techs and dealers, and allows ongoing evaluation of the
performance of the StrongArms™
Design - We think the best way to design any
component is to keep it simple. That is why Strong Arms™ are designed
with as few components as possible. We have a new 4 axis tubing bender
that allows precise, repeatable bends that no other machine can achieve.
We can create elegant tubing bends that would otherwise require several
separate welded components.
Components - We have worked closely with Moog, a
major manufacturer of OEM ball joints, to ensure that the proper ball
joints have been selected for the Application... a compression style
unit in a compression application, a tension ball joint in a tension
application. Proper poly or rubber bushings are selected based on
application and the type of driving or racing that is anticipated.
Geometry - Geometry of a suspension starts with
the position of the frame mounts and the height of the spindle, not the
shape of the control arm. However, there are a few small things in
control arm design that can make a big difference in how a vehicle
drives and performs.
- We create extra caster potential by adjusting the fore and aft
position of the ball joints. At the same time we make sure the wheel is
properly positioned in the wheel-well so your new 18" wheels fit like
they should!
- The balljoint camber travel is re-centered to accommodate the new
lowered ride height so the ball joint doesn’t bind during extreme
suspension movement.
- The perimeter of the StrongArms is contoured to allow maximum wheel clearance and turning radius.
- All shock mounts, airspring mounts, and swaybar mounts are
integrated into the design so you don’t have to finish the engineering
in order to enjoy your ride!
StrongArms™ are optimized to allow proper camber
adjustment at your new lowered ride height without using a large stack
of shims.
All STRONGARMS include ball joints, and bushings. They are bolt-on: ready to install!
