Key Features

SPC Performance's Front Upper Multi Link Control Arm features several key design elements that set it apart:

• Adjustable camber and caster settings allow ±1.5° of fine-tuning, enabling precise alignment for improved handling and tire wear.
• Direct replacement for factory fixed-length arms simplifies installation and ensures a perfect fit.
• Maintenance-free ball joints and bushings eliminate the need for regular lubrication or replacement, reducing long-term upkeep.
• High-quality materials and engineering ensure durability and resistance to the harsh conditions of street and track use.
• Designed with a focus on maintaining factory ride quality, NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels are preserved while enhancing performance.
• Constructed with precision CAD development and TIG welding for superior strength and fitment.

Construction & Design

This control arm is built with a heavy-duty steel or aluminum alloy housing, providing a strong yet lightweight structure that withstands the rigors of spirited driving. The adjustable components are crafted with precision threads and locking mechanisms to maintain alignment settings over time. The ball joints and bushings are engineered to be maintenance-free, featuring sealed designs that resist dirt, debris, and moisture, ensuring consistent performance and longevity.

The design incorporates a multi-link architecture that helps optimize suspension geometry, reducing unwanted camber and caster changes during suspension travel. This results in more predictable handling, better steering response, and improved tire contact with the road surface. The arms are finished with corrosion-resistant coatings to ensure durability and a clean appearance over the lifespan of your vehicle.

Installation & Fitment

The SPC Performance Front Upper Multi Link Control Arm is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory component, making installation straightforward for those with basic mechanical skills. No cutting, drilling, or complex modifications are required. Proper alignment is recommended after installation to achieve the desired camber and caster settings. The process typically involves removing the factory control arm and installing the adjustable unit using standard hand tools and alignment equipment.
