--RELEASE-- LG Motorsports MonoBall Control Arm Packages
-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!

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.

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.
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!)

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

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.
