. Launching harder, reducing wheel hop, and adding cornering consistency to your 2005-2014 Mustang is easy with lower control arms from BMR Suspension. Stock stamped steel control arms with soft rubber bushings deflect under load and absorb power instead of transferring it to the tires. BMRs polyurethane, non-adjustable tubular control arms for S197 Mustangs (TCA019) are TIG-welded using heavy-duty 1x2-inch boxed steel tubing. This design gives you a strong control arm that greatly improves performance. Greasable, 95-durometer bushings add a solid, more responsive feel over the stock rubber bushings. BMRs bushings are internally fluted, which allows grease to evenly coat the inner sleeve. These flutes also direct grease to the outer edge of the bushing, keeping the thrust surface lubricated. This efficient lubrication ensures quiet, reliable operation over the life of the bushings. BMR's upper control arm mount is a direct replacement for the OE piece and requires no drilling or welding to install. The last generation Fox body Mustangs had upper control arm mounts incorporated into the frame. They also had two upper control arms sharing the load but drag racers were continually ripping the mounts off of the frame when racing. The solution for those cars was to weld reinforcement plates onto the frame. This new Mustang platform only has one upper control arm and the mount is only bolted into place. BMR's upper mount is made from heavy duty 1/4"" plate and can be either bolted or welded into place. Additionally it has dual control arm mounting points for changing instant center. The single upper control arm is responsible for maintaining pinion angle and preventing axle counter-rotation. This ""3 link"" style suspension is ideal for autocross and road race applications as it allows the most articulation possible with a solid axle. For drag racing, however, the single, centered link becomes a weak point as the arm is only one inch thick in the middle and made from light gauge, stamped steel. BMR's upper control arm is made from 1 5/8"" .120 wall DOM tube and is TIG welded. The Stocker Star Adjustable Shocks feature easy bolt-in installation in the stock mounting locations. 3 link suspensions place excessive loads on the upper link bushings. In the '05, two bushings are responsible for handling the same torque load that 4 bushings had done before. Additionally, these bushings are subjected to more ""twist"" than before since the rear end can better articulate as a 3 link design. In order to allow free articulation, the OE rearend bushing is designed to flex. This flex is great for handling but under straight line acceleration, it contributes to wheelhop and inconsistant launch characteristics.
