Racer X Fabrication Front Lower Control Arms WRX / STI 08-14
The Racer X Fabrication 4130 chromoly front lower control arms for
the 2008-2014 WRX / STI are one of the limited options available for adjusting
camber and caster. The durable chromoly steel construction allows for simple,
on vehicle, adjustment using adjustable threaded adapters and chromoly rod
ends. The tubular design provides a 1 lb weight savings per side (2 lbs total
weight saving) over the aluminum OEM version of the control arm. The Racer X
front lower control arms retain the OEM sway bar link mounting tabs and OEM
ball joint taper that is compatible with the OEM ball joint or extended RCA
ball joints.

CONSTRUCTION
The front lower control arms are constructed from 4130 chromoly
steel to increase rigidity and strength while reducing overall weight. The
chromoly tubing is end formed and threaded for an adjustable threaded adapter
for use with chromoly rod ends. The control arms are mandrel bent to precise
tolerance and then prepared for TIG welding using fixtures from OEM data
points. The ball joint end is also constructed from chromoly steel and CNC
machined for an OEM fit that maintains the use of the OEM ball joint taper. The
final assembly is finished with a black zinc plating to protect against the elements
and provide corrosion resistance
