Key Features

  • Heavy-Duty Construction: High-strength tubular steel with zinc-plated and anodized finish eliminates axle flex and maintains precise alignment for stable handling in daily or performance driving.
  • Pinion Angle Adjustment: Double-adjustable aluminum hex design enables on-vehicle tuning by loosening jam nuts, reducing drivetrain wear, wheel hop, and improving traction over fixed arms.
  • Reduced Suspension Bind: Spherical ball or rod end assembly with UHMW polyethylene bushings at chassis end and fluted greasable polyurethane bushings at differential end for smoother travel and better tire contact.
  • Made in USA: Precision engineered in Lakeville, Minnesota, with durable components for long-term reliability.
  • Includes all hardware and detailed installation guide.
  • Every part precision-machined for exact fit and function.

Alignment Components

Shop alignment components, camber kits, caster kits, and adjustable control arms at Black Ops Auto Works. Find vehicle-specific parts for correcting suspension alignment or preparing a performance setup, including toe links, adjustment cams, camber plates, and replacement mounts.

This collection includes options from Black Ops Auto Works, AAD Performance, SPC Performance, Eibach, SuperPro, Whiteline, and other suspension brands. Adjustment capability varies by product. A camber kit does not automatically provide caster...
