Are the FMS HD upper control arms decent?

[Mustang5L5]

I want to run Max Motorsports LCA's, but not sure i want to spend $200 on UCA's as well.

The FMS arms are under $100, but are they decent?

If i got them, i'd prob box them up to increase stiffness slightly.

Should I bother? Or just get some good quality UCA's?

Just take the arms you have and put the 94/95 bushings in them and you'll have the same arms.

I bought adjustable uppers.

Did not know that. Thanks

might lean to aftermarket arms though

i personally dont run them... but i can tell you that i have heard more good things about them than bad...personally though, if i was replacing a stock upper, after i have already installed a set of tubular non-adjustables, the second time around i would definately use adjustables so i could set pinion angle...

Its a stock arm with a slightly stiffer bushing. waste of money.

FWIW, it's what Maximum motorsports recommends.

When installed on a 1979-93 Mustang, these control arms with their stiffer bushings help limit axle wind-up and side-to-side motion, but will not damage your Mustang's upper torque boxes as a standard urethane-bushed upper control arm would.

Notice how MM does not make an upper control arm.

What i'm probably going to do is take my stockers and weld/box them up and put urathane bushings in them. I want adjustables but i wouldn't even know where to begin on the adjustment part.

That's kinda why I asked.


I was looking for uppers and saw they only offered the Ford ones. Interestingly enough though, they claim they are the manufacturer.


On second thought however, i'd like to be able to adjust my pinion angle which tends to be a big cause of vibration in lowered cars
