Team XTR rear lower control arm change
I’ve been promising for a while to take the old LCA’s off and fit the new Function7 billet-alloy lower control arms. After battling with the bolts for the best part of a day and a half, a bolt shearing on me and having to buy a whole set of replacement bolts… they’re on!
Here’s how the look:
Blurb from the manufacturer:
Designed for the extremes of racing use, all of our lower control arms are precision machined out of 7075 aluminum for maximum strength and then treated for corrosion resistance.
Every arm is tracked in every step of the manufacturing process, and each arm is individually serialized and barcoded for quality assurance.
Features
1. High quality custom-made polyurethane bushings (manufactured to our specifications by Energy Suspension) provide extended life while retaining excellent performance characteristics.
2. Aluminum CNC bushing inserts prevents rust related issues found on stock bushings.
3. Modular design allows individual component replacement and makes bushing rebuilds simple.
4. Entrapment-type bushings do not require set screws which cause undue stress points.
5. Full width bushing journals for maximum strength & reliability under the most extreme conditions.
6. Micro-engraving ensures that the product is a genuine Function7 product.
7. Each arm is individually serialized & bar coded for quality control and trackability.
8. Sway bar mounting holes are provided for the easy installation of most factory and aftermarket sway bars.
9. Optional sway bar linkages are available to mount factory and aftermarket sway bars.
