UMI Performance Rear Lower Control Arms Black (1022-B) - 1999-2004 Ford Mustang
Improve rear suspension strength, traction, and handling on your 1999-2004 Ford Mustang with the UMI Performance Rear Lower Control Arms. Designed as heavy-duty direct bolt-on replacements for the factory lower control arms, these tubular steel arms provide increased strength and rigidity while upgrading the factory bushing arrangement for more controlled rear suspension performance.
UMI engineers the 1022-B lower control arms from robust DOM mild steel tubing with CNC-machined components, welded construction, and high-quality greaseable polyurethane bushings. By reducing unwanted control arm flex and bushing deflection, these lower control arms are designed to help eliminate wheel hop, improve cornering response, and deliver more consistent performance at the track.
Stronger Replacement for Factory Lower Control Arms
The factory rear lower control arms can allow unwanted movement as suspension loads increase. Flex in the control arms and deflection in the factory-style bushings can reduce the amount of control the suspension has over the rear axle, particularly during hard acceleration and aggressive cornering.
UMI addresses these weaknesses with a rigid tubular design and upgraded polyurethane bushings. The result is a stronger connection between the Mustang's chassis and rear axle that helps the suspension respond more consistently under load.
Designed to Reduce Wheel Hop
Unwanted rear suspension movement can contribute to wheel hop during hard acceleration. The stronger DOM steel construction and firmer polyurethane bushings of the UMI lower control arms help reduce unnecessary movement and provide more controlled rear axle behavior.
For performance-oriented Mustangs, improved axle control can help provide more predictable traction and greater consistency when putting power to the pavement.
Improved Cornering Response
The benefits of increased rear suspension rigidity are not limited to straight-line performance. Reducing control arm and bushing deflection also helps keep the rear axle more controlled during cornering, providing a more responsive and predictable suspension setup.
This makes the 1022-B lower control arms a useful upgrade for Mustang owners looking to improve overall rear suspension performance for spirited street driving as well as track use.
Heavy-Duty DOM Steel Construction
UMI constructs these rear lower control arms from heavy-duty 1.500-inch OD x 0.125-inch wall DOM mild steel tubing. The robust tubular design provides increased strength and rigidity compared with the factory-style control arm construction.
CNC-machined components help maintain precise construction, while TIG and MIG welding techniques are used throughout the assembly to create a strong and durable finished control arm.
High-Quality Polyurethane Bushings
The UMI lower control arms incorporate high-quality polyurethane bushings designed to reduce the excessive deflection associated with softer factory rubber bushings. The upgraded bushings provide greater rear axle control while maintaining a design suitable for performance street and track applications.
On-Car Greaseable Design
UMI equips the polyurethane bushings with zerk grease fittings for convenient on-car lubrication. This greaseable design simplifies routine maintenance by allowing the bushings to be serviced without removing the control arms from the vehicle.
Direct Bolt-On Installation
The 1022-B lower control arms are engineered as direct bolt-on replacements, providing a straightforward way to upgrade the Mustang's rear suspension without requiring an extensive conversion. Once installed, the stronger tubular arms and upgraded bushings work together to improve rear suspension rigidity and control.
Durable Powder Coat Finish
A durable, long-lasting black powder coat finish protects the steel control arms while providing a clean appearance underneath the vehicle. The powder coating helps provide lasting protection for a suspension component exposed to demanding street and track environments.
