Restore Proper Front Camber
Lowering springs and coilovers frequently introduce excessive front negative camber.
These adjustable upper control arms allow you to:
- Restore factory alignment
- Correct excessive camber
- Improve tire contact patch
- Reduce uneven tire wear
- Fine-tune suspension geometry
The estimated ±3° adjustment range is suitable for most street and moderately lowered performance builds.
Tubular Steel Construction
The control arms are manufactured from CNC-machined tubular steel for improved strength over many factory stamped-steel components.
Construction highlights include:
- High-strength steel alloy
- CNC-machined components
- Tubular performance design
- Powder-coated finish
- Corrosion-resistant construction
The tubular design also provides additional clearance around suspension components.
Polyurethane Bushings
Unlike factory rubber bushings, these control arms use solid polyurethane bushings.
Benefits include:
- Reduced suspension deflection
- Sharper steering response
- Improved cornering stability
- Longer service life
- Better durability under aggressive driving
Because polyurethane is firmer than rubber, drivers may notice a slight increase in road feel and vibration.
Integrated Ball Joints
The included ball joints simplify installation and help restore front suspension performance.
Benefits include:
- Direct replacement design
- Improved steering precision
- Reduced suspension play
- OE-style installation
- No need to reuse worn factory ball joints
Improve Handling
Correctly adjusted front camber can improve:
- Steering response
- Turn-in precision
- Front-end grip
- Cornering confidence
- Tire longevity
This makes the kit well suited for lowered street cars, autocross builds, drift cars, and occasional track use.
Direct Bolt-On Installation
The kit installs using factory mounting locations.
Typical installation includes:
- Safely raise and support the vehicle.
- Remove the factory upper control arms.
- Install the adjustable AJP Distributors control arms.
- Set a preliminary camber adjustment.
- Torque all hardware to factory specifications.
- Perform a professional four-wheel alignment.
Installation guides are not included, and professional installation is recommended.
