The front lower control arms have a helical stamped coil
mount that positively secures the coil spring into the lower control arm.
The coil mount has been improved to make installation even easier. The lower
shock mount is incorporated into the stamped coil plate. This stamping is
welded around its entire perimeter to 1-1/2 120 wall DOM tubing that
makes up the back bone of the control arms. The pivot barrels are made from
rugged 1-1/2 188 wall DOM tubing. The arms accept OE and aftermarket
sway bars. The arms occupy less space than the originals and do not affect
turning radius or tire size.
The front upper control arms are preassembled on new billet
chromolly 4130 cross shafts and pivot sleeves. CPP is leading the industry
with billet cross shaft and pivot sleeves that captures both sides of the
bushing, unlike the originals that were only retained on the 1 side of the
bushing under the head of the bolt. As a result of the fully contained bushings,
the arms are even stronger. Forces that would make other arms flex and twist
are transferred through the bushings and easily handled by billet cross
shaft. CPP created a safety feature with an interlocking shaft and sleeve
design that prevents the bolts from working loose even under severe stress
created by hard corning. The arms are made from 1-1/4 120 wall DOM
tubing and have beefy 1-1/2 188 wall pivot barrels. The continuous
round cross section adds torsional rigidity. The beefy 1-1/2 .188 wall pivot
barrels ensure the pivots will stay true and operate with maximum efficiency.
All CPP control arms feature high quality TIG welds to
ensure the best strength and appearance. The arms accept OE replacement
ball joints.The CPP exclusive pivot bushings are a patented self lubricating
plastic that will not squeak, and has a working temperature of over 400
degrees. These plastic bushings refuse to break during impact testing and
can absorb high shocks loads that would otherwise be transferred thru the
chassis. |
