Control arms
Stamped steel and forged aluminum assemblies, supplied bare or as complete arms with ball joint and bushings already pressed in. The complete assembly is the volume product — a distributor does not want to press bushings in a shop.
Weld penetration, arm-to-arm dimensional spread, and bushing durometer are held lot to lot. Arms are E-coated after welding, then the ball joint boot is fitted, so no coating gets between the stud and the housing.
