-Release-

LG Motorsports is proud to release their mono ball control arm kit for the home user for their C5, or C6 project.

This is something that we have been doing on our own Corvette race cars, and customer cars for years but was only done in house here at LG Motorsports....UNTIL NOW!

Coming directly from our World Challenge and GrandAm projects, this kit is now available for you to install at home. Don't have time or tools? Have one of the tech's here at LG Motorsports set the control arms up for you. *ask your sales rep for details

What does this do for you? These will allow the arms to pivot in a smooth, and correct motion, like they are suppose to. No more defecting of the rubber bushings, changing your alignment on track!

Our kit uses a high quality stainless ball with a Teflon lined race so you will have years of trouble free life from the bearings, just like our HD Quiet end links.

Unlike other kits on the market that have you glue in the housings to the control arms, our kit is precisely machined to be a close press fit that will not move without having to resort to a glue to hold it. This process can be done at home with a little bit of fire and ice, or LG Motorsports can do the install for you!

Some pictures of what you will receive and exploded views of them going together in a control arm set.











Kits include mono ball housings, bearings, retaining clips, spacers, cross shafts (were needed) and instructions. Kits are available for all four control arms for C5, C6, C6GS, C6Z06, and C6ZR1.


MSRP $1795.95


AVAILABLE NOW!

Nice set up

LG Motorsports

Hi Guys,
In 2004, we built our C5 World Challenge Corvette using these. We took it out to Sebring at the first race and put it on the front row. We have been using these in every Corvette from World Challenge to Grand Am.
I can safely say that these parts have won more World Challenge races than any others. In fact, they are still winning in the same Corvette that we built that is driven by Mike Skeen now.
At any rate, they are true Race Quality, precision built parts ready for the track. We are also doing the complete install of the parts and taking your A arms in as a core charge so you only have to swap the A arms and not fiddle with all the bearing installs and rubber bushings.

Give the guys a call at LGM and they can fix you up.

Thanks

While only the rears were shown in the above photos these kits will be supplied for ALL FOUR of the control arms, uppers and lowers.

We will have kits for the base C5/C6 as shown below as well as those for the Z06/ZR1's that require the cross bars in the rear like the front.

That's a great way to go! Nice looking product.

First class product, Anthony!

We have measured up to 1/2" of wheel movement!

Imagine the alignment change when that occurs.

0Anthony @ LGMotorsports

Want to see how much a factory control arm moves? Take a close look at the wheel relative to the body work.

You will notice a high level of toe in under acceleration and a lot of toe out under braking. This is bad in a number of ways.

1. You scrub speed on acceleration due to toe in
2. You have a more unstable car during braking due to toe out
3. Tire wear is increased
4. Lack of a predictable car on track or street

Try this on an almost new ZR1, so at this point there is very little wear from the factory.

(NOTE THE CALIPER MOVEMENT UNDER BRAKING!)

In the pic I see front and rear lowers, but only rear uppers. Are the front uppers part of the kit too? Also, what about the shock bushing? It looks stock, delrin or poly in the pic.

0Louis @ LG Motorsports

The shock remains stock, as have all of our race cars. It adds an element of bite off the corner. We ran it in the trans am days too, as well as some ASA stuff. It really aids in corner exit bite, especially on street courses and slow
Speed Corners.

We have the whole kit, including front uppers.

0Anthony @ LGMotorsports

I'm still filming and shooting photos for the website as well as instructions. I wanted to get a release out, just don't have a full set photographed assembled yet.

0Anthony @ LGMotorsports

Now see the same results from other views as well as once the MonoBall kit is installed how dramatically it removes the deflection and play in the control arms.

0Anthony @ LGMotorsports

Anyone else notice how much it moves under braking?

RX-Ben

How about a comparison vs poly and delrin?
Everyone knows the stock rubbers are garbage.

0Louis @ LG Motorsports

Delrin cannot be used, as the movement of the arm will not allow the used of a solid mounted busing. The bearing gives the degree of freedom the arm needs under travel, and the ability to cope with different alignment setups and cambers.

You could potentially use delrin on the front uppers, and the rear uppers of a C5/C6 only, however, we chose not to.

0Anthony @ LGMotorsports

The one thing with a mono ball that you will not get like you will with Poly bushings is that it does not sound like a worn out spring mattress.

^^^Isn't teflon's physical property "soft"?

Doesn't your sway bar's quiet end links takes a licking when used on other than race track conditions?

Is the original Monoball set used since '04 still being used?

0Anthony @ LGMotorsports

Actually yes, I believe they are. The car is still being ran as one of the Wheelen cars. As of 2007 (last time I saw the car in person) it was still running the same arms.

Guys, we have been using this set up since 2004 when we built our first World Challenge Corvette in house. That car went on to the first race at Sebring and we put it on the front row.
Funny thing about racing and winning, it allows all the bugs to be eliminated. none of our bearings come loose and the same for out alum inserts. there is no need for "loctite" to hold them in. We now use the same thing on our World Challenge Camaro.
at any rate, the bearings are a Teflon impregnated fabric that lasts much longer than the quiet end links. There is no fabric in the end links like these.

thanks
