Description
Upgrade the front suspension performance and steering response of your Ford Focus RS with the SuperPro Front Lower Inner Rearward Control Arm Additional Caster Bushing Kit. Designed as a replacement for the factory lower control arm inner rear bushing, this double-offset bushing kit introduces additional positive caster into the front suspension geometry for improved straight-line stability, steering feel, tracking, and cornering performance.
Control arm bushings serve as critical pivot points and links between the core suspension components. SuperPro's offset bushing design provides a controlled change to the front suspension geometry, adding positive caster without compromising the vehicle's intended road manners.
Additional positive caster helps improve straight-line stability and tracking, allowing the vehicle to track straighter and return to center with less driver input. It also provides dynamic camber gain as steering angle increases. As the steering wheel is turned, the increased caster allows both front wheels to gain additional camber into the turn, helping maintain more of the tire's contact patch on the road as the suspension loads during cornering. This helps resist the tire rolling onto the shoulder and compromising available grip.
The additional caster also enhances steering weight and feel. The small geometry change increases steering weight as the steering moves away from center, while improved cornering grip provides greater feedback through the steering wheel and helps deliver a more connected driving experience.
SuperPro's caster-offset bushings are designed to provide these handling benefits without negatively affecting tire wear, comfort, or creating unwanted handling behavior. SuperPro polyurethane bushings are the result of nearly five decades of suspension expertise and development in Australia's demanding terrain. Engineered with durability as a primary consideration, the bushings are also designed to maintain ride comfort and cabin isolation for vehicles used both on the road and at the track.
SuperPro's polyurethane designs and material compositions retain OEM levels of noise and harshness isolation while providing enhanced suspension performance and road manners in a wide range of driving conditions.
