![]() Not only does this K-member allow for the use of a Modular 4.6L/5.4L into a fox body Mustang but will also work for the new 2011/2012 Coyote 5.0L As seen here with the use of 96-04 4.6 urethane motor mounts.Īll of our Suspension Products are made with the Highest Quality materials and most expensive components. Most importantly it will handle the everyday wear and tear of city & highway streets like that was it's main intent. Designed for the abuse of hardcore drag race, road race, and Street Enthusiasts. Standard spindles or 2 inch dropped spindles can be used.įor more information, watch the YouTube video above.Install a Coyote 5.0L or Modular 4.6L or 5.4L into your Fox Body Mustang! UPR's all new Chrome Moly K-member - will save more weight and exceed any strength limitations of mild steel while allowing maximum header and oil pan clearance. We recommended using our Drag Race Bump Stop Limiter - part# TLC-1100 Modifications to the suspension can change the distance required. Make sure the bump stop contacts the frame before the shock runs out of travel. Sometimes, if the front end travel needs to be limited, the bump stop may be removed and a limiter may be added in its place. This protects the upper ball joint from damage. Synthetic grease is recommended.īump stops are installed on the upper control arms to stop ball joint over travel. Grease fittings are installed in the control arms for lubricating the bushings. Delrin, which is patented, is a hard plastic and can handle extreme loads associated with suspension components. TLCs use Delrin type bushings machined specifically for our shafts and housings. The beauty of design is that not only is there reduced friction, but there is zero deflection and no fore and aft movement. Once the bolt works loose, alignment shims would fall out causing loose alignment.Īll drag series A-arms use a low friction bushing that allows the control arm to literally drop when they are installed. Without steel sleeves, alignment shims and upper shaft bolts would rest against the aluminum shaft and eventually work loose. This allows proper torque to be maintained on the cross-shaft. The sleeves isolate the aluminum shaft from alignment shims, frame bolts and nuts. Steel sleeves are pressed in on each side of the shaft for protection. Also the arms are made out of chromoly which removes 8 pounds off the front end.Īll TLC upper control arms use billet aluminum cross-shafts. TLC upper control arms are built with additional positive caster and setting camber is never a problem. Too many alignment shims are needed and possible camber problems can occur. Unfortunately, there is never enough caster available using stock front-end components. For this reason, caster is essential on drag cars. It is part of the front end self-aligning force. Caster provides straight-line stability and reduces wander at high speeds. ![]() One of the biggest problems most production cars have is not enough caster. This causes tire scrub and front end wander. Bump steer is a condition that occurs as the front of the vehicle raises, the wheels turn on their own without driver input. With this set, bump steer is reduced through new geometry induced by the control arm. Global West Suspension sells a light-weight low friction tubular upper control arm for 1967, 1968, and 1969 Camaro drag racing applications. Drag Racing Tubular Upper Control Arms Part #TLC-79 ![]()
