What is the main benefit of using 7075-T6 aluminum for these control arms?

7075-T6 aluminum is chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue strength. This means the control arms are both strong enough to handle aggressive driving and lighter than previous designs, contributing to improved vehicle dynamics.

What types of bushings are used and why?

These arms use a combination of high-load steel spherical bearings, tuned durometer elastomeric bushings, and Delrin bushings. This mix is intended to maintain accurate suspension geometry, dampen vibrations for a more comfortable ride, and reduce friction at the shock mount for better control.

Can these control arms be configured for track use?

Yes, Skunk2 offers the option to replace the subframe side elastomeric bushings with high-load steel spherical bearings. This modification can be done with basic tools and provides a more direct connection to the chassis for track-focused performance.

Product Details

If you're working on the suspension for your 1990-2001 Acura Integra, whether it's for street driving or hitting the track, upgrading the rear lower control arms can make a notable difference. These Ultra Series arms from Skunk2 Racing are designed as direct replacements, helping to maintain your car's original suspension geometry while offering improved performance characteristics.

Skunk2 chose 7075-T6 forged aluminum for these arms because it offers a great balance of strength and light weight. In fact, they're 19% lighter and 27% stronger than Skunk2's previous generation of control arms, and 44% lighter than the original equipment arms. They use a combination of high-load steel spherical bearings on the trailing arm side and tuned elastomeric bushings on the subframe side to manage forces and dampen vibrations. For the shock mounting points, Delrin bushings are used to reduce friction and deflection, allowing for better dynamic shock control. This setup aims to provide a comfortable ride on the street while still offering precise control when you push the car harder.

For those building a dedicated track car, Skunk2 offers the option to swap the subframe side elastomeric bushings for high-load steel spherical bearings, which can be done easily with basic tools. This allows for a more direct connection to the chassis for maximum feedback and control.
