Hardrace Front Lower Control Arms (Pair) – Pillow Ball Design
The front lower control arms are engineered using high-strength forged aluminium alloy, offering superior durability and rigidity compared to the factory-stamped steel components. This advanced construction not only ensures long-term reliability under demanding conditions but also reduces overall weight, contributing to improved vehicle dynamics.
Why Pillow Ball Bushings?
Unlike conventional rubber or even hardened rubber bushes, pillow ball bushings are designed to significantly enhance handling precision and feedback. Here’s why they justify their higher price:
- Improved Steering Response: Pillow ball joints provide a more direct connection between the suspension and chassis, reducing flex and play commonly associated with rubber bushes.
- Consistent Performance: Rubber bushings can compress, degrade, or soften over time—especially under high loads. Pillow ball designs maintain their integrity and responsiveness over a longer service life.
- Reduced Deflection: The rigid spherical bearing design minimises unwanted suspension movement, offering more predictable handling and better control during spirited or track driving.
- Enhanced Road Feel: By eliminating the dampening effect of rubber, pillow ball bushes transmit more feedback to the driver, which is particularly beneficial in performance-oriented applications.
