One
of the key components in your cars suspension is the upper control arms.
The upper control arms acts as a guide for the top of the spindle and as
the major support for the coil spring and shock. This is an area you definitely
want top quality components.
Total Control Design...
Total
Control Products use of TIG welded, tubular
steel control arms and Kevlar Injection Molded Rod Ends, create a
suspension platform durable enough for the racetrack but simple enough
to use on your daily driver. The tubular control arms resist the
twisting and bending that the stamped factory design is subject to. The
state of the art rod ends create an extremely precise pivot point that
ensures accurate travel throughout the suspension's range of motion.
Tubular
A-Arm design with tig welding construction. Ball joint geometry
correction to eliminate binding when a-arms are lowered. Simple
camber/caster adjustments without using shims which enables you to have
full contact of pivot shaft to shock tower and allows absolute precision
in adjustments. Kevlar rod ends for strength, that are self cleaning and
self lubricating. Precision construction for extremely smooth and
precise operation with no binding.
Factory Design...
One
of the major shortcomings of classic automobiles is their handling
characteristics. While going down a straight highway this early design
may seem adequate, but it does not meet today's standards during braking
and cornering. The 1960's technology and manufacturing methods are a
mere shadow of what is possible today. The stamped steel design and
rubber bushings of the factory suspension allow unwanted deflection.
This deflection translates into inconsistencies in the arch of travel
that the suspension moves through. The end result is an overly
"soft" suspension system and sometimes unpredictable handling
characteristics.
