hey has anyone here with mm lower control arms noticed a dramatic improvement in performance?


im debating purchasing them, but i am wondering if the hefty price tag justifies the performance?

the performance benefit is there. I noticed a huge improvement even moving from another brand of lca to the MM ones.

I love mine, they completely eliminated wheel-hop (even without quad shocks) and I can feel the rearend is much more stable and predictable when taking fast corners. I highly recommend them as well as changing-out your uppers and the upper axle bushings if they are still the original ones. Mine were completely shot.

I had really worn out upper and lower bushings on my stock stuff. The MM stuff was a great upgrade and really changed the bahavior of the rear.

Can't tell you how many noises went away when the old stock stuff was replaced.

Considering how long good/great control arms last, might as well do it well the first time and be done with it.

If you go with UCAs only go with Ford stock or FRPP UCAs....MM doesn't recommend anything else since the Factory design is flawed....give them a call they will tell you exactly why as I can't remember off the top of my head....

Thanks clark, and to everyone else....if you look @ MM box kits you'll notice none of them come with UCAs.....I believe it is because aftermarket UCAs still allow the suspension to bind....

Difference wasn't noticable going from stock to the MM ones on mine. If I had to do it over again I'd buy them again though for the quality sake rather than some cheapo genaric brand.
