Lower Control Arm Upgrade

[EEngineer]

i'm pretty sure those arent the stock lower control arms..
does anyone have these installed?
do they improve handling?

[Venom_5]

they look like OE Specs

[Eye8Pussies]

yeah...they look like oem spec aftermarket parts....

but if you're looking for better handling...you can try these.... :


Energy Suspension Polyurethane Bushings

Is Energy that much better????

[harlen]

the only benefits on the aftermarket lcas is the weight difference and maybe the bushings. and poly bushings may be stiffer, but they tend to deform after a period of time so i would stick with oe rubber bushings.

well...the gen4 and gen4 suspension is practically identical...me and asg14 were talking about this same thing yesterday...

if you check energy suspension's fitment chart:
http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/toy.html


you'll notice that the gen1 avalon uses the same kit as the gen4 camry....and the gen1 avalon, as we all know....is the gen3 camry....



so that pretty much leads us to the conclusion that the gen4 kit will also fit the gen3

^ urgh more curve balls. I gotta make my mind up.

[EEngineer]

i dont recognize any part on my car that looks like those things as the lower control arm.

it's weird.....

i thought lower control arm is just a long rod...not something looking like that that looks like a camber kit for a civic

[Venom_5]

our LCA's are a-arm style .... definitely not "just a long rod"

[EEngineer]

anyone care to post a pic of ur LCA?
