Need help finding stronger front upper and lower control arms and rear lower control arms

[amelung45x]

Hey everyone,

I was just curious if anyone knew where I could find stronger than factory front upper and lower control arms and rear lower control arms for a talon 1000x. Since i'm prone to breaking stuff, I might as well get the best bang for my buck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

L and w fab. Great product and customer service.
One ride and I had bends in my front and rear lowers. Swapped to l and w and no issues since. I did not do front uppers.

^^^ What he said. Their stuff is heavy duty!

You may also want to consider a frame stiffener for the front...

I'd go with the SATV front arms and their frame stiffener kit. I like their arms because of the camber adjustability feature of the lowers. Most companies arms are fixed, so if its a little off you are stuck with it.

Their frame stiffener kit is also a must have. I use one on my racecar.

I purchased the superatv arms first and did not care for them. I had one arm adjusted nearly all the way in and the other significantly out to get camber right. I also felt the 1 inch forward offset(the reason I chose them) made steering harder.

I bought L&W and put them right on and camber was great. Also noticed the L & W had much higher clearance than the SuperATV arms. With Super ATV arms you also have to buy the bushings separate or swap from stock arms. From what I have heard, swapping is not an enjoyable experience.

I do agree with having the frame stiffener kit. That was one of the first things I did when I put my taller tires on. Really happy with it.

Not a fan of L & W anything.......

Zero penatration on their welds resulted in major damage to my buddies Talon after the arm snapped. They sent him some new parts to fix their screw up but only replaced the arm that broke. I guess they were confident the others were good....... I wouldn't trust any of them personally.

Wow, hadn't seen any L&W related failures, thanks for sharing that.

That sucks! Maybe a fluke, maybe not. Been beating on mine on a 4 seater without issues so far. I kept my stock arms as spares.
