{"product_id":"z33x-flca","title":"GKTech - Z33 350z \/ G35 4130 Chromoly Super Lock Lower Control Arms - Z33X-FLCA","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe GKTECH Z33 Super Lock front lower control arms (LCA) simplify, improve and replace the front lower control arm and compression rods on the 350z\/G35, while also supporting around 65+ degrees of steering lock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese arms are designed based off CMM data, they are CAD designed, FEA tested, have CNC machined ends and the main body is laser cut and bent from 4130 Chromoly Steel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have replaced the dual OEM arms and made ours one piece. By switching to a 1pc design the kinematics are altered which makes for a design that will not bind at high angle and does not cause the steering to fall onto lock, both traits of the OEM 2pc design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing to a one piece design also has allowed us to increase the caster angle by 2-3 degrees and this can be further increased by our front upper camber arms which have the adjustment to increase caster by up to 1 degree. \u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThese arms are adjustable, at their minimum length they start at 0.98' (+25mm) over OEM and adjust out to 1.96' (+50mm) from OEM.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese arms have been designed with the OEM knuckle in mind, meaning they will work with our bolt on steering kit which uses the OEM knuckle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA limiting factor with the OEM LCA is the strut to knuckle position in that the brake caliper is prone to hitting the strut when on full on lock. To assist with clearance we have moved the strut mount further inward 30mm so this limiting factor is no longer prevalent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe still use, as we do all our arms, common sized PTFE bearings throughout the arm, which can be found locally, however, we do have them on the shelf should you wish to carry spares. We also use our high misalignment rose\/ heim joints to allow the arm to rotate freely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe also include dust boots to protect the rose\/ heim joints and have lock stops built into the arm for those that want to dial down the fun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, the arms are E-coated (electrophoresis coating) for rust prevention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Allow for 65+ degrees of steering lock\u003cbr\u003e- Reduced bind, being a 1pc design\u003cbr\u003e- Reduced ‘fall to lock syndrome’ being a 1pc design\u003cbr\u003e- 2-3 degrees increased caster angle\u003cbr\u003e- Adjustable from +25mm to +50mm\u003cbr\u003e- On car adjustable in both length and caster\u003cbr\u003e- Designed to be used with OEM knuckle\u003cbr\u003e- Strut mount relocated inward 30mm for caliper clearance\u003cbr\u003e- Adjustable link pin\/ roll bar settings\u003cbr\u003e- High misalignment rose\/ heim joints\u003cbr\u003e- CMM measured, CAD designed, FEA tested\u003cbr\u003e- CNC machined ends\u003cbr\u003e- Laser cut 4130 Chromoly steel design\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNOTE \u003c\/strong\u003e- On low cars with the arms at their shortest length, please ensure you have adequate clearance between the arm and the subframe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHow much angle can I get out of these LCA's?\u003c\/b\u003e\nOur lower control arms can support around 65 degrees of steering lock!\n\n\u003cb\u003eHow hard are these to fit?\u003c\/b\u003e\nThey are quite easy to install but mechanical knowledge is required and recommended.\n\nWe also include an assembly guide on most product pages, that can be seen above. You are also welcome to get in touch if you need help.\n\nBut apart from that, remove your standard LCA's and compression rods and the LCA's will bolt straight in.\n\n\u003cb\u003eWhat's the difference between your V1 and these V2?\u003c\/b\u003e\nAfter selling over 500 sets of our V1's we have added the much requested \"on car adjustment\". Caster can now be adjusted in situ without the need to disconnect the heim joint for adjustment. We have also made the V2 arms stronger to cater for high loads that the FLCA's can see when drifting. Adding on car adjustment will save you time and money at the wheel alignment shop and make track side changes very quick and easy. \n\n\u003cb\u003eAre these suited to circuit\/grip racing?\u003c\/b\u003e\nYes, absolutely. These arms use of spherical bearings which do make them entirely useful for circuit\/grip racing by eliminating bush deflection. Coupled with the built-in caster angle and the additional adjustment to increase track width.\n\n\u003cb\u003eDo I need to do any other modifications to get the most from these LCA's?\u003c\/b\u003e\nYou can bolt them in as they are, however, you would only increase your track and caster angle.\n\nIdeally, you would get these alongside our bolt on steering kit and either the bolt on rack spacers or the offset rack spacers.\n\nThis for drifting especially will give you a great deal of steering lock and be super smooth to drive with!\n\n\u003cb\u003eWill these fit my car?\u003c\/b\u003e\nWe can only confirm fitment for the vehicles listed above under \"confirmed fitment\".\n\n\u003cb\u003eWhat happens if a bearing needs to be replaced?\u003c\/b\u003e\nThey are common sized bearings, which can be found at any local bearing supplier.\n\nThe coilover bearing is a COM9T\nThe rose\/ heim joints used are a PCML12TES\n\nHowever, we do have these on the shelf and can help out with replacements.\n\n\u003cb\u003eHow long is the warranty on these arms?\u003c\/b\u003e\nAll GKTECH suspension arms come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.\n\nThe PTFE lined rose\/ heim joints come with a 1 year replacement warranty and as mentioned, they are a common size which can be found at any local bearing supplier, or we do keep them on the shelf!\n\n\u003cb\u003eAre there any special tools required?\u003c\/b\u003e\nNo, a spanner set will do the job which we do sell separately here - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/us.gktech.com\/products\/2118-spanner\"\u003e open ended wrenches\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eDo you carry spare parts for this product? \u003c\/b\u003e\nYes we carry the following spare parts for this product;\n\u003cb\u003eReplacement COM9T Spherical Bearing - \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/us.gktech.com\/products\/replacement-com9t-bearing\"\u003eSpare part can be found here\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eReplacement PCML12TES Heim - \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/us.gktech.com\/replacement-pcml12tes-heim\"\u003eSpare part can be found here\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"GKTech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50815656263991,"sku":"Z33X-FLCA","price":1928.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/6920\/files\/0001_20211110_140003.jpg?v=1752084957","url":"https:\/\/www.boostfactory.ca\/products\/z33x-flca","provider":"Boost Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
