Launching harder, reducing wheel hop, and adding cornering consistency to your 1979-1998 Mustang is easy with lower control arms from BMR Suspension. Stock stamped steel control arms with soft rubber bushings deflect under load and absorb power instead of transferring it to the tires. BMR's polyurethane/rod end, single-adjustable tubular control arms for Fox body Mustangs (TCA049) are manufactured from heavy-duty 1 5/8-inch DOM steel tubing. This design gives you a strong control arm that greatly improves performance, with the adjustability to fine-tune the rear axle alignment. The integrated spring perch is built from heavy-duty plate steel for loads of strength. Greasable, 95-durometer bushings add a solid, more responsive feel over the stock rubber bushings. BMR's bushings are internally fluted, which allows grease to evenly coat the inner sleeve. These flutes also direct grease to the outer edge of the bushing, keeping the thrust surface lubricated. This efficient lubrication ensures quiet, reliable operation over the life of the bushings. BMR Suspension designed the TCA049 to work well in street performance, drag race, and road race applications. The stock control arms flex under cornering loads giving you inconsistent handling characteristics. Combine this with soft bushings that have massive amounts of deflection and you're left with poor performance. The TCA049's heavy-duty construction eliminates control arm flex, giving you much improved repeatability on the street, starting line, or in the corners. BMR's polyurethane bushings are designed to be compliant enough to give you a comfortable ride and absorb NVH, while remaining firm enough to stand up to high loads of any performance environment. The bushings and rod ends easily handle the high compression loads of hard launches and hard acceleration, yet offer plenty of articulation for great handling.
