Can you get these "on-car" adjustable as well?

i'm sofa king

what would be the reason, if any to chose these over your regular tubular LCA for the rear?

i think i need to replace my bushing on my stock arms, but for the same cost or a little more i could upgrade to your tubular LCA's.

my car never see's the track, just normal, maybe a little aggressive driving around town.

also, i get some wicked wheel hop and pulling to the left when i really get on it. would upgrading the LCA help?

You are correct. The poly-joint design won't allow for grease to flow throughout the bushings. We supply them with a special water proof polyurethane grease. If they are greased properly with the supplied grease you will most likely never need to pull them apart for more grease.

They are made using a very soft polyurethane.

These will be available in the next few weeks on our adjustable turnbuckle style arms.

Stock Lower Control Arm Vs Tubular



My buddy modifying my e-brake brackets to accept the relocation brackets without re-routing or deleting the e-brakes.





All done.

Hey, Angry Bird, I was thinking about doing the relco brackets myself, what has to be modified for the parking brake on those?

The brackets that wrap around where they mount to brackets built on the axle. If you look very closely, you can see the we cut the ebrake brackets in half pretty much. In the last picture that ebrake bracket used to wrap around and get bolted through in the stock control arm position.

I have been running these on pot holed NEPA streets for the better part of a week now and they are absolutely brilliant. I had to replace the bushings in my factory control arms and figured for the extra 40 bucks I might as well upgrade to tubulars with poly bushings.

I haven't had a single squeak, the car is very solid and planted and the ride is very much like a stock car with good bushings. The intstallation was dumb simple and everything went together as it should.

I will say this.. Follow the greasing and assembly process to the letter. If you don't, you will have air in the barrel and the bushings won't sit properly. Follow the instructions and they slip right into place.

Overall I'm impressed and satisfied with these control arms. I was worried they'd squeak and provide a harsh ride, but I have no complaints. On top of that, they're damn good looking. I'll add that over the phone service was fantastic and that shipping was prompt considering we're on opposite sides of the country. I will be ordering my relocation brackets from you guys in the near future and anything else I may need down the road.

Thanks guys.

These control arms an brackets are amazing, prices just fell into place! Even with modding the bracket for the ebrake it didn't take any time. Not to mention I accidentally ordered the arms black and the brackets red, and they called me to see if that is really what I wanted. Thanks to their customer service for that! Made my day! Now just make a torque arm and I'll buy one!

They look nice, but I'm just failing to see how they articulate better than standard poly bushings. I see how the inner pivot works, but the outer ends of the "bolt tube" are still held in place by the outer poly bushing ends.

The outer cups are very soft and all they do is keep the ball located in the middle of the bushing tubes.

So, it's just a much softer poly than most other poly suspension bushings we see out there?

Founders Performance

The center bushing is made from a very hard special polyurethane and the outer cups are made from very soft polyurethane.

So very little to no front and back, or up and down movement/play, but allows for nice articulation. I really had to look at these for a long time to understand. These may be the arms that I've been needing for so long. I've always wanted a good articulating control arm, but the price hasn't ever been able to be justified, I don't push my car that hard. These might be the key.

I wonder how well these things articulate given the bushing surface is flush against torque box. Rod ends are spaced with bushings, allowing the joint to rotate over the bearing 22° or more.

Finally just ordered a set of these, I was convinced after my car wheel hopped pretty back at the track last weekend.

Patiently awaiting a Founders torque arm relocation bracket now!!
