Skunk2 Racing [01-05 Civic] Pro Series Rear Lower Control Arms - Clear Anodized

Skunk2's Clear Anodized Rear Lower Control Arms for the '01-'05 Civic are based off of the same technology the company's been using on its own race cars for more than a decade and are a must-have for enthusiasts looking to fine-tune their suspension for maximum handling performance. Skunk2's Rear Lower Control Arms are direct replacements, maintain OEM suspension geometry, and are ideal for street and race applications. Each arm is forged from aircraft-quality 2024 billet aluminum, precision CNC-machined, and is more than 25 percent lighter than the OEM arms. Skunk2 Rear Lower Control Arms also feature adjustable anti-sway bar mounting holes for advanced suspension tuning and optimum balance. The low-deflection, polyurethane bushings act as bearings for quicker response and a more positive feel. Skunk2 also eliminated tearing and un-seating problems typically associated with other fixed rubber bushings by allowing the arm to rotate freely about the bushings. Properly designed suspension components must be strong and functional first and aesthetically pleasing second. Skunk2's Rear Lower Control Arms are both. Each arm's I-beam shape and tapered design is a direct result of efforts to eliminate twisting, bending, and stress risers. Extensive FEA (finite element analysis) testing determined that conventional 'straight and flat' designs are plagued by internal stress risers. A poorly designed arm will concentrate stress in particular zones, causing the arm to fracture and ultimately fail. For maximum suspension performance, Skunk2 Rear Lower Control Arms are best complemented with Skunk2 Rear Camber Kits, Lower Arm Bars, and Strut Tower Bars.

Improve rear suspension response and tuning capability with Skunk2 Racing Pro Series Rear Lower Control Arms for [01-05 Civic] applications. Part number SKK542-05-0225 includes a matched set of two direct-replacement control arms and a socket tool for OEM bolt removal.

• Forged 2024 billet aluminum construction with adjustable anti-sway bar mounting positions
• Low-deflection polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated inserts, and custom hardware included

Designed for street and race use, these rear lower control arms maintain OEM suspension geometry while reducing unsprung weight compared with the original equipment arms. Each control arm is forged from aircraft-quality 2024 aluminum and precision CNC-machined for consistent fitment and dependable performance. The clear anodized finish adds corrosion resistance and gives the components a clean, durable appearance.

Skunk2 Racing engineered the arms with an I-beam profile and tapered shape to help control twisting, bending, and stress concentration. Adjustable anti-sway bar mounting holes allow suspension enthusiasts to fine-tune rear roll stiffness and vehicle balance for different driving conditions. The low-deflection black polyurethane bushings act like bearings, allowing the control arms to rotate freely while improving response and providing a more positive suspension feel. This design helps avoid the tearing and unseating issues associated with some fixed rubber bushings. The kit includes zinc-plated steel inserts, custom hardware, and a socket tool for OEM bolt removal. For additional suspension tuning, Skunk2 recommends pairing these arms with compatible rear camber, lower arm, and strut tower components.
