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.\nPro Series Control Arm Set; Rear Lower; Incl.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkunk2 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-deflection polyurethane bushings improve suspension response and allow controlled arm rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged 2024 billet aluminum construction provides strength with reduced weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable anti-sway bar mounting holes support rear suspension tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI-beam and tapered arm design helps reduce twisting, bending, and stress concentration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement design maintains OEM suspension geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear anodized finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated steel inserts and custom hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes socket tool for OEM bolt removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of two rear lower control arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAir Freight Prohibited: false\u003cbr\u003e\nNot Carb Approved: false\u003cbr\u003e\nLtl Freight Required: false\u003cbr\u003e\nProp 65: Y\u003cbr\u003e\nPart Type: automotive\u003cbr\u003e\nEpa: N\/A\u003cbr\u003e\nCarb Acknowledgement Required: false\u003cbr\u003e\nRegular Stock: t\u003cbr\u003e\nUnits Per Sku: 1\u003cbr\u003e\nFitment:\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic DX 2001\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic DX 2002\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic DX 2003\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic DX 2004\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic DX 2005\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic EX 2001\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic EX 2002\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic EX 2003\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic EX 2004\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic EX 2005\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic EX Special Edition 2005\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic GX 2001\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic GX 2002\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic GX 2003\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic GX 2004\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic GX 2005\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic HX 2001\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic HX 2002\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic HX 2003\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic HX 2004\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic HX 2005\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic Hybrid 2003\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic Hybrid 2004\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic Hybrid 2005\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic LX 2001\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic LX 2002\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic LX 2003\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic LX 2004\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic LX 2005\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic LX Special Edition 2005\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic Si 2002\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic Si 2003\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic Si 2004\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic Si 2005\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic Value Package 2004\u003cbr\u003e\nHonda Civic Value Package 2005","brand":"Skunk2 Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47259513225318,"sku":"skk542-05-0225","price":227.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/8703\/7237\/files\/8e31fa05f575a7111fb282833a67a02c.jpg?v=1790184703","url":"https:\/\/jdmuscleusa.com\/products\/skunk2-racing-01-05-civic-pro-series-rear-lower-control-arms-clear-anodized","provider":"JDMuscle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
