Watch the video below for more information regarding installation of the Global West control arm.

 

Global West's control arms are built for a specific purpose, to bring current technoloty to early model applications. Their tubular lower arms are perfect for stock or performance suspension upgrades. Both arms are supplied with ball joints, bump stops, control arms bushings, and a innovative rotating spring cushion. 

The cushion serves two purposes-to isolate and properly index the coil spring. Even if you trim your coil spring in order to lower the car, the lower spring cushion simply rotates for proper re-index. The control arms also provide additional header tube clearance, require no frame modifications and are pre-assembled for your convenience. 

Will not work with Heidt's spindles but will work with stock or 2" dropped spindles that measure 7" across the ball joint area. 

Three reasons why Global West built a rotating spring pocket:

1. A lot of people cut the coil spring to obtain a desired ride height. When you cut the spring, the spring will no longer line up in the lower arm or upper frame mount . In some cases this can cause the spring to make noise rubbing on the edge of the pocket. In this case the spring cushions solves the rubbing issue and by rotating it provides a way to re-index the spring.

2.The spring will be loaded properly around the coil. If you will notice most tubular lower control arms have a flat plate that the spring sits on. There really is no index. This places a lot of load at the very end of the coil spring rather than on the full coil. Over time this will fatigue the coil spring. Sag may occur.

3. Ride height adjustments can be made by shimming under the spring pocket.

 

  1. Arms are designed to work with disc brakes only. Drum brake backing plates will set too far back around the face of the spindle, which does not give the control arm the proper spacing that a rotor would have off the face of the spindle and bracket.
