NOW EASIER TO ASSEMBLE!

This item will now arrive with the boots pre-installed on the rod-end and filled with grease.
All you have to do is screw the rod ends into the tubes, set them where you want and tighten them down.

These unassembled arms were originally intended for the international market. In the unassembled condition these will fit into a US Post Office Medium Flat Rate Box, thus reducing shipping costs overseas. However, many enthusiasts in the US have discovered that buying these arms is a great way to save $$$. If you possess basic mechanical skills and have a few common hand tools you can assemble these yourself. Full instructions are included.

You will receive:

Two tubes, cut to the correct length with zinc chromate finish

Two each RH and LH rod ends with the sleeve pressed in, boots installed and greased.
Two each RH and LH jam nuts
Anti-sieze compound
Instructions for assembly and installation.

Assembly should require less than 1 hour.

These arms  are constructed of 1 inch (25.4mm)  diameter x .095 inch (2.4mm) wall steel tubing.  .

Each arm has a RH and LH thread precision rod-end bearing and lock-nut to provide easy adjustment. The arms are pre-adjusted to factory length, but can be shortened or extended to provide the rear wheel camber you want. The threads have been pre-treated with anti-seize compound to insure easy adjustability in the future.

The rod-ends bearings are nylon-composite-lined to assure good self-lubrication and should be maintenance free. With the boots and grease, future lubrication, except in the most severe conditions, should not be needed, but can be done if necessary.  These rod ends are rated slightly in excess of 27,000lbs static radial load.

The rod-end boots are a tough, flexible neoprene rubber. They are resistant to gasoline and most oils and greases. The boots come pre-installed and pre-packed with a high load, water-resistant moly grease. And they are replaceable should they get damaged at some future time.

Even if you leave these arms at the factory settings, you will notice a difference when aggressively cornering. The rod ends, while self-aligning have the added benefit of having no give, unlike the factory rubber bushings. They are about one pound lighter than the factory arms.

Easy to install. It takes about an hour per set, needing only common hand tools and the appropriate jacks. Instructions are included.

The factory center-to-center hole distance is 532mm, or about 20 15/16 inches. The maximum recommended length on these arms is 551mm, or about 21 11/16 inches.

2012 Hyundai i30 previewed ahead of Frankfurt It’s easy to think of the Hyundai i30 as part of the new wave of Euro-centric Hyundai’s.
