Description: Ultra fancy red crinkle finished Rear Control Arms, made from 6061 Aluminum billet. They're lighter than OEM's (1.5 lbs), look better and the best part is that they're adjustable (0 to -4 deg.). Spherical Bearings are used on the ends lined with an injected nylon which keeps the Arm quiet and from falling apart.
Install is easy. Pop out a hex bolt or two, re-size the arm to the stock (20 15/16") re-install and re-tourque. On the side note, vehicles with HID's need to modify (zip-tie) the auto-leveling headlight switchy-deal. Now here's the hard part, do you need them? Not Neccessarily, but damn they look good. Plus they're functional, even more as a pair. No biggie!

Pros: Nice red color
Cons: Everything else

Another disappointing Alta product.

They are harder to adjust than the Ireland Engineering and H-Sport links, they are heavy, and the heim joints clunk annoyingly.

Two thumbs way down

Pros: low price..
Cons: Rattles, exposed end joints can lock up over time.

I had these on for a while. But the rattles and adjustment issues with the alignment shop ended up making me move away from these...
