The forged aluminum lower lateral control arm is fitted with a bush in its inner end which locates between brackets on the subframe. The arm is secured with an eccentric bolt, an eccentric washer and a locknut which allow for the adjustment of the suspension camber geometry.
The outer end of the control arm has a tapered hole which locates on a ball joint fitted to the wheel knuckle. Two cast brackets on the forward face of the control arm allow for the attachment of the lower control arm. A threaded insert is fitted behind the two cast brackets and provides for the attachment of the stabilizer link with a bolt. A bush is fitted to a cross-hole in the control arm which provides the location for the forked attachment of the spring and damper assembly.
