The Skunk2 Alpha Series rear lower control arms are forged from 6061-T6 aluminum, roughly 40 percent lighter than the OEM stamped-steel arms while holding an ultimate tensile strength above 42,000 PSI. Each arm pairs a high-load steel spherical bearing on the trailing-arm side with a tuned-durometer elastomeric bushing at the subframe and Delrin bushings at the shock mount, so suspension geometry stays precise under load without transmitting harshness into the cabin. They are direct bolt-in replacements that retain OEM geometry, CNC-machined for a clean fit and finished in black anodizing.
