UMI Performance Upper and Lower Control Arm Reinforcement Kit (1002) - 1994-2004 Ford Mustang
Strengthen the rear suspension mounting points of your 1994-2004 Ford Mustang with the UMI Performance Upper and Lower Control Arm Reinforcement Kit. Mustangs are well known for producing strong low-end torque and impressive 60-foot times, but hard launches and increased traction can place considerable stress on the factory rear control arm mounting locations. UMI designed this reinforcement kit to help strengthen these critical areas and reduce the potential for cracks and mounting-point damage.
Particularly important for Mustangs equipped with aftermarket control arms, lift bars, or polyurethane bushings, this complete reinforcement package strengthens both the upper and lower rear control arm mounting points as well as the front mounting locations of the lower control arms. The reinforcements can be installed as a bolt-in solution or welded in place, giving builders flexibility based on the vehicle's intended use and suspension setup.
Strengthens Factory Control Arm Mounting Points
The factory rear control arm mounting points can become a weak link as traction and suspension loads increase. UMI's reinforcement kit is designed to strengthen the upper and lower rear control arm mounting locations, helping the chassis better handle the forces generated during acceleration and hard launches.
Reinforcing these areas is especially valuable on performance-oriented Mustangs where increased torque, improved tire traction, and upgraded suspension components can transfer additional load into the factory mounting points.
Reinforces Lower Control Arm Front Mounts
In addition to strengthening the rear mounting locations, the UMI kit reinforces the front mounting points of the lower control arms. This provides more comprehensive support for the control arm attachment points rather than addressing only one area of the rear suspension.
Ideal for Aftermarket Control Arms and Lift Bars
Upgrading to aftermarket rear control arms or lift bars can increase the forces transferred through the Mustang's factory mounting locations. UMI designed this kit with modified suspension systems in mind, providing additional reinforcement for vehicles equipped with performance control arms and polyurethane bushings.
For Mustangs built around improved launches and stronger rear suspension performance, reinforcing the mounting points can help protect the chassis while allowing upgraded suspension components to perform from a stronger foundation.
Bolt-In or Weld-In Installation
The reinforcement pieces can be installed using the supplied hardware for a bolt-in installation, or they can be welded into place if desired. This allows the installation method to be tailored to the vehicle, build level, and intended use.
UMI estimates installation at approximately four hours. The kit includes the necessary Grade 8 hardware along with installation instructions to help simplify the process.
Complete Reinforcement Package
Rather than reinforcing only a single control arm attachment point, UMI provides a complete package designed to strengthen multiple critical areas of the Mustang's rear suspension mounting structure. With reinforcement for the upper and lower rear control arm mounts and the front lower control arm mounts, the kit provides a comprehensive solution for performance-oriented 1994-2004 Mustangs.
