PureMS.Com - Stern Adj. Control Arm Sneak Peek

**Mike@PureMS** · 10-21-2008 02:18 PM

Just a couple production parts to show off some of the details. Still haven't finalized production, but we're getting there!

Ball joint is completely covered on top. Ball joint is still completely serviceable. There will be an optional seal to cover the bottom half as well. Standard will be stock OEM rubber bushings. Optional will be hard sphericals, for those that won't mind some noise.

Full kits are still being worked on, but we should have more details soon!

Adjustable control arms are used for adjusting camber and caster. Now, a lowered vehicle can exhibit camber that is outside of the OEM spec. The factory allows for no adjustment to the camber, so if you're lowered, you're pretty much stuck with facing the real possibility of having premature tire wear. By using adjustable control arms you can correct the camber settings and put the camber back to spec to increase the tire life.

These aren't only used for track enthusiasts who want to increase camber for better handling. These can be used by everyday drivers who need camber correction to retain tire life.

What kind of noise are you referring to in regard to the spherical version?

finally mike! they look really great! do we have a release date/price?

most people will want them to correct their front end negative camber from lowering on coilovers. if i get good tires, i go through them way too quick. not to mention i would think handling would be improved since i would have a better patch of tire on the ground instead of just the inside edge

What kind of noise are you referring to in regard to the spherical version?

Lots of clicking and clunking. Sphericals will transmit noise and vibration into the cabin.

do we have a release date/price?

Expected release is near the end of November. Retail on a set of the uppers is $599. We do have a pre-order special going on. However we will also be offering full upper and lower sets as well. Pricing for these haven't yet been determined, which is why there hasn't really been a full announcement yet.
