CorteX Xtreme-Grip Rear Lower Control Arm & Relocation Bracket System, Track (CLCA-40-2000) - 2005-2014 Ford Mustang
Correct rear suspension geometry and improve traction on your lowered 2005-2014 Ford Mustang with the CorteX Racing Xtreme-Grip Track Rear Lower Control Arm and Relocation Bracket System. Designed for S197 Mustangs, this package combines adjustable lower control arms with multi-position relocation brackets to restore or optimize control arm angle, reduce wheel hop, and improve launch performance.
Lowering an S197 Mustang changes the factory rear control arm geometry and can move the arms from a neutral position into a positive angle, reducing traction and increasing the likelihood of wheel hop. The CorteX system provides two relocation bracket mounting positions so you can tailor anti-squat and roll steer characteristics around your intended use.
Features
- Designed for 2005-2014 Ford Mustang S197 applications
- Corrects rear lower control arm geometry on lowered Mustangs
- Helps reduce wheel hop
- Improves launch traction
- Two relocation bracket mounting positions
- Allows anti-squat and roll steer characteristics to be adjusted
- On-car double adjustable lower control arms
- Track version uses rod-end bearings for maximum articulation
- Eliminates compliant factory bushing deflection
- High-strength aluminum control arm links
- Heavy-duty stainless steel spacers
- One-piece cold rolled steel relocation brackets
- Powder-coated brackets for corrosion resistance and durability
- Includes Grade 10 hardware
- American made
- Track tested through thousands of miles of racing use
Upper Mounting Position
Using the upper hole in the CorteX relocation brackets returns the lower control arm geometry closer to factory specifications on a lowered S197 Mustang. This position provides a balanced combination of anti-squat and roll steer, making it well suited for street driving, autocross, and road course applications.
- Restores control arm geometry on lowered vehicles
- Balanced anti-squat characteristics
- Balanced rear roll steer
- Recommended for street, autocross, and road course use
Lower Mounting Position
Using the lower hole creates a more aggressive downward control arm angle, increasing anti-squat for stronger launches. This position is best suited for street and drag strip applications where straight-line traction is the priority, with some increase in rear roll steer compared to the upper position.
- Increases anti-squat
- Improves hard-launch traction
- Helps reduce wheel hop
- Recommended for street and drag strip applications focused on launch performance
Track Rod-End Configuration
The CLCA-40-2000 Track system uses rod-end bearings in place of compliant bushings. This allows the rear suspension to articulate freely as the axle moves under acceleration, braking, and cornering loads, reducing bind and unwanted deflection.
The rod-end design provides maximum suspension precision and force transfer for applications where outright performance is the priority. Some increase in noise, vibration, and harshness should be expected compared to a street-oriented bushing setup.
Construction
- High-strength aluminum lower control arm links
- Maximum-articulation rod-end bearings
- Heavy-duty stainless steel spacers
- One-piece cold rolled steel relocation brackets
- Powder-coated bracket finish
- Grade 10 installation hardware
