Description:
Forged 6061T6 billet Aluminum
CNC machined to a precise fit and finish
15% lighter than previous Skunk2 LCA's
40% lighter than OEM arms
7% stronger than previous Skunk LCA's
Tuned durometer Elastomeric bushings to damp out harshness
Delrin shock bushings for low friction w/minimal deflection for dynamic shock control
Skunk2 has done it again. While others are busy imitating their LCA's, Skunk2 engineers have spent years of extensive R & D to revolutionize a product that was once thought to be dialed in. Skunk2 is proud to announce the release of its Alpha Series Lower Control Arms for the '88'95 Civic/ CRX and '90'01 Integra. the Alpha Series LCA's are based off of the same technology the company's been using in its own race cars for 20 years and are a musthave for enthusiast looking to finetune their suspension for maximum handling performance while keeping budget in mind.
Skunk2's Rear Lower Control Arms are direct replacements, maintain OEM suspension geometry, and are ideal for street and race applications. when deciding on a material to base their new design on, they chose very carefully, as there are many inferior annealed and cheap versions of aluminum available on the market today. they chose 6061T6 because of its excellent strength to weight ratio. with an ultimate tensile strength of over 42,000 PSI, and fatigue strength of 14,000 psi for 500 million cycles – they knew this would be perfect for the Alpha Series Lower Control Arms. the result of their reengineered lower control arm is a 6061T6 Forged Aluminum LCA, that is 15% lighter and 7% stronger than their previous generation of LCA's. Accurate suspension geometry is maintained under the most aggressive driving conditions using high load steel spherical bearings on the trailing arm side and tuned durometer elastomeric bushings for the sub frame side of the LCA. Delrin bushings are utilized at the shock mounting position for their low friction and minimal deflection for unparalleled dynamic shock control. Using this specific combination of bushings allows the most comfort and control under any driving conditions.
Properly designed suspension components must be strong and functional first and aesthetically pleasing second. Skunk2's Rear Lower Control Arms are both. for maximum suspension performance, Skunk2 Rear Lower Control Arms are best complemented with Skunk2 Rear Camber Kits, Lower Arm Bars, and Strut Tower Bars.

Q: What are control arms? Why buy them?
A: Control arms are components utilized in independent suspensions that attach your hubs to the chassis and allow the wheels to move up and down with the proper geometry and alignment. Stock control arms are subject to plenty of use and abuse and have a tendency to bend over time which can affect your handling and alignment. Replacement arms are available to restore safe handling and control and keep you driving safely for years to come. If you are looking to upgrade there are numerous performance options available. Boasting increased strength, light weight construction, upgraded bushings and the ideal design for performance use, these performance control arms will give you a real edge on both the road and track. And with a unique look and finish they will also give your ride a distinctive motorsports aesthetic.
