Are those Lemforder forgings?
Control Arms from RRT for Big Kriss as he builds his car into a track car! - JT

Yes they are Lemforder. RRT Machines the mil-spec Bearing in place of the Bushings. - JT
If you are going to be tracking, wouldn't you want to use the aluminum arms...to save some unsprung weight?

Those look like thrust arms to me, in which case i don't believe they are availible in aluminum. I think you can call them upper control arms too, right? its confusing. i just stick to thrust arm and control arm.
no they're not.those are upper arms(thrust loads ie. braking).they come in steel.Originally Posted by BigKriss
lower arms(track control) come in choices of steel or aluminium.
sorry, you're right.Originally Posted by moots

It occured to me that these actually are the Thrust Arms. When I originally took them off the car my mechanic had both sets of the Controls/Thrust. I had told him he could have them and to find a good home for them.
This was before Kriss contacted me about them. When I went back to retrieve them for Kriss - he had sold the other arms and these were what was left. I mistakenly labeled them as the Control arms.
At any rate - thats what they are and what they look like - JT
