New from Steeda - Front LCAs for 11-13

[SteedaBrandon]

Check out our new front LCAs for the 11-13!

Steeda Street/Race Front Lower Control Arms w/ Ball Joints - 11-13

These specially modified factory O.E. arms are upgraded with high durometer urethane bushings for greatly reduced deflection and longer X11 ball joints for improved front suspension geometry.

Reduced bushing deflection will noticeably increase steering response and maintain proper alignment geometry during hard cornering. Our X11 ball joints will improve front geometry for increased cornering grip, reduced understeer, and reduced body roll.

Most importantly, these arms wont fold up and break under high stress conditions like aftermarket tubular designs. You get all the strength and durability that only the factory control arm assembly can provide!

Note: Due to the relocation from the longer ball joint, 18 inch or larger wheels are required for clearance.

Product Benefits

• Will not fold up and break like aftermarket tubular designs
• Increased cornering grip - reduced understeer
• Maintains proper alignment geometry under hard braking
• Reduced body roll

How much testing has been done on these? I've read a horror story of the EPS freaking out when upgrading to higher durometer bushings up front. You get a stuttering sort of motion in the steering wheel if slaloming the car above 50 mph. Forcing you to upgrade to the FRPP rack to remedy the increased feedback the rack sees from the harder bushings.

We have these being tested on our 2011 and 2013 GTs and do not have any reports of this condition with our control arms.

Good to hear. This is what I'm talking about if it wasn't clear. Most that have experienced it have had harder bushings in the front LCAs. Nice easy solution instead of going through the hassle of removing the factory ones.
