Steeda's New S550 Mustang Front Control Arms (Lateral and Tension Link)

BmacIL · Nov 19, 2017

[MENTION=25806]SteedaTech[/MENTION], do both the the control arms have a different ball joint end stud or just the lower arm (lateral link)? From the images it appears just the lower arm.

Are these built on PP arms so that the rear is pre-loaded with the factory delrin bushing?

Yes, these are built on PP arms. Also, they can come assembled with the bearing on the tension link.

So, I'm about to get the bearings installed in Valdosta on my PP arms. Is there a way to upgrade my arms or do they need to be replaced. I'm lowered 1" on progressives.

Good job Steeda I see my next upgrade

Just the lower arm has the extended Ball Joint.The tension link has some geometry changes as well.

On another note, these are not Ford OE P/P arms. We had these custom made to our specs, they are forged steel.

By lowering your S550 Mustang, you have consequently lowered the front roll center. This leads to symptoms you have likely experienced: reduced steering response, increased body roll, and reduced cornering grip.

Solution: Steeda’s industry first S550 Mustang Front Control Arms, a must for all lowered 2015+ Mustangs. These arms are manufactured to OE Performance Pack specifications, with one major benefit: roll center correction. By increasing the ball stud height, Steeda has eliminated the adverse effects of lowering your vehicle by raising the front roll center. This in turn helps to increase steering response, decrease body roll, and increase cornering grip, helping you turn even better lap times!

Use in conjunction with our 555-8133 - Steeda S550 Mustang Bumpsteer Kit for best results.

Note: The tension link can have the rubber bushing replaced with our 555-4128 - Steeda S550 Mustang Front Control Arm Bearing Kit to eliminate bushing deflection as shown in photos (Tension Links ship with rubber bushings).

Product Benefits:
•Corrects the front roll center
•Increases steering wheel responsiveness
•Decreases body roll
•Improves tire contact patch with the road
•Increased cornering grip

MPN: 555-4905 Patent Pending Available 01/10/2018

The front control arms with the extended ball joint,will be shipping on Wednesday next week! Should be on line separately late Monday.

This comes with the P/P bearing. A must for lowered S550's if you want to take it to the next level in handling. Proven on track testing to lower your lap times!

No increase in NVH or ride harshness!

At this time the tension link will only come with the bearing installed.
It will be competitively priced. To be announced late Monday.

Thank you,

I just received the front control arm bearing kit (still in box) from Steeda assuming that the newer control arms would come without the bearings. Will I be able to return the bearings if I purchase the complete arms with the bearings?

plc268 · Dec 16, 2017

So I'm confused. With this set, we'll get both the control arms, and both will have spherical bearings, right?

I know the PP cars had bears in the rear mounted front lca from the factory, and you guys sold the bearing for the other lca.

Seems to good to be true if that $250 price on the steeda website is to be believed.
