QA1 79-04 Ford Mustang/79-86 Mercury Capri Lower Boxed Trailing Arms

QA1 5221 lower boxed trailing arms deliver strengthened rear suspension control for 1979-2004 Ford Mustang and 1979-1986 Mercury Capri models. Constructed from 0.120-inch wall cold rolled steel tubing these arms reduce flex for precise handling and better tire contact.

  • Powder-Coated Finish: Gloss black coating resists corrosion and maintains appearance over time
  • Direct Bolt-In Design: Precision fit replaces stock arms without modifications on compatible vehicles

Control Arms

Control Arms

Control arms are the key suspension linkages that connect the wheel hub and knuckle assembly to the vehicle frame, controlling wheel travel through both compression and droop cycles. Worn OEM control arms with loose ball joints or deteriorated bushings cause vague steering, tire wear, and handling inconsistency that only go away with replacement or upgrade.Popular UpgradesTubular steel upper control arms for lifted trucks and SUVs are the most popular upgrade in the control arm category, correcting the geometry compromised by a suspension lift and restoring proper caster angle and ball joint centering. Adjustable upper control arms allow alignment angles like caster and camber to be dialed in precisely after a lift or lowering modification. Replacement lower control arms with polyurethane or solid aluminum bushings improve response and longevity compared to worn OEM rubber mounts.Why do I need new control arms after a lift kit?A suspension lift changes the angle at which the OEM upp...
